Marie Antoinette's obsession with "cake" in the film is due to the rumor that when the peasants complained of their lack of bread (and food for that matter), she said "let them eat brioche." This word means expensive bread, but was later mistranslated as "cake." However, there is no real evidence that Marie uttered such words, which have also been attributed to another French queen about one hundred years earlier. The reason the peasants revolted wasn't due to such a quote as depicted in the movie, rather she and King Louis XVI were taken from the Versailles palace to Paris by a revolt of angry peasant women after they discovered the royals had been hoarding grains from the rest of the people. This is also debatable, as the specifics of this affair are not really known, regardless, their house arrest was due to the peasant revolt during France's early Revolution. Peabody and Sherman previously visited these historical figures in Peabody's Improbable History: Louis the XVI (1961).

Penny's father's name is Paul, which could be tribute to Paul Frees, a veteran voice-over ace. Frees voiced many historical figures on the original Peabody's Improbable History (1959) segments, as well as other characters (most importantly Boris Badenov) throughout The Bullwinkle Show (1959).
