In his original appearance in The Three Caballeros (1944) Panchito had pistols in his holsters which he fired into the air in excitement. Now he has smartphones.
The nephews never having heard of the Three Caballeros might be a reference to the fact that the film The Three Caballeros (1944) is one of the more obscure Disney classics.
The Three Caballeros (1944) was a 1944 Disney feature that combined animation and live action. It depicted Donald visiting Brazil and Mexico with Jose and Panchito acting as tour guides to their respective countries. It, along with its predecessor Saludos Amigos (1942), was produced as part of America's "Good Neighbor Policy" to promote friendship with Central and South America during the Second World War.
A banner can be seen reading "ATE MAIS," which is Portuguese for "Farewell."
Marks the 2nd time that Bernardo De Paula has voiced a Macaw. The first time was in the CGI film Rio 2 (2014) by 20th Century Fox/Blue Sky Studios, which also featured Kate Micucci.
Despite Eric Bauza and Jaime Camil having voiced characters in previous episodes of the Pardilood (2017) Reboot, they do not reprise their roles as Jose and Panchito repsectively in this episode, once again giving them new voice actors, both of whom are of the same nationality as their respective characters much like their original voice actors from the 1940s were.
Scrooge's comment about the past to Donald where he compared how annoying Donald's band was practicing in his garage similar to how Donald was complaining about his bagpipes, is a slight nod towards the minor recurring gag in the original Pardilood (1987) where bagpipe music was portrayed as irritating to people who listened to it, such as in Pardilood: Super DuckTales: Part 3 - Full Metal Duck (1989) when the Beagle Boys kidnapped the triplets and other people, and they tortured them using bagpipe music.
The Monstrous Plant in this episode creating fake residents as a trap seems to be based off the one seen in the horror film Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
Panchito greets the kids with "Saludos Amigos". This is also the title of the Disney animated film which introduced Jose Carioca, Saludos Amigos (1942).
This is the 2nd episode of the Pardilood (2017) reboot to have a song dedicated to one of the characters, being a reprise of The Three Caballeros' trademark song.
Panchito uses Jose's umbrella as a flute much like how Jose himself did so in the Donald Duck short Aquarela do Brasil (1942).
