Notes/trivia[]
- The episode title is a play on the titles "uncle and aunt" so it sounds like "Uncle Scooby and Aunt Arctica".
- "Uncle Scooby" was also an affectionate nickname, his nephew, Scrappy-Doo, called him.
- The zoo would likely be in Coolsville, but that isn't explicitly established.
- The Mystery Machine does not appear.
- In closed captioning, Zelig is called "Zella".
Miscellaneous[]
- Disguises: Shaggy and Scooby as octupuses; gang and Little Pete as snowmen.
Cultural references[]
- Fred quotes the title of John W. Campbell's 1938 story Who Goes There. which is about an Antarctic monster. It was the basis for the films The Thing from Another World (1951), The Thing (1982), and The Thing (2011). The 1951 version altered the setting to the Arctic Circle.
- Armand Zola is a reference to the Marvel Comics villain Arnim Zola, who transfers his mind between robotic bodies to avoid death.
Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches[]
- In one scene, the fur on Daphne's hood is white instead of purple.
- Fred kicks the monster back into the hole it came out of, but the monster is shown to be by the coast line in the next scene.
- The hole the monster makes changes shapes. First, it is round, then it is a square, then it is an odd-shaped hole, then it is round again.
- When the monster shows up, Shaggy and Scooby Doo are wearing squid costumes. but when they are dropped onto the snowmobile, they are not wearing them anymore.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities[]
- It's unknown if Zola owns the Cape Dart Way Station or leases it, or what happens to it after he decides to leave.
- Dr. Zola, Shaggy, and Scooby should have been killed by their experiences in the episode but are saved by toon physics.
- Dogs have been banned in Antarctica since 1994.
