** Also doubles as an [[Actor Allusion]] in Hurricane Fluttershy, when When Twilight Sparkle, voiced by Tara Strong (the voice actor for Bubbles), is chattered at by a Squirrel, to which her response is "Do I LOOK like I speak squirrel?"
* Because of the fact that he was raised by animals, Mowgli from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' actually gained the ability to talk to animals (such as Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther) and understand what they are saying.
