The sheriff's voice is very similar to that of [[Wikipedia:Burl Ives|Burl Ives]], who voiced the similar-looking Sam the Snowman. Strong Sad's wondering what a mystical sword has to do with Decemberween may be particularly inspired by their final stop motion production, ''[[Wikipedia:The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus|The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus]]'', which confusingly features an epic fantasy battle sequence. | |
