Notes[]
- A scene was scripted to appear before scenes 4 and 5, but was ultimately cut. In the scene, Stinky wonders what job he can perform as a part of his new hotel family. Through tears, he answers various queries from the guests and earns himself the job of concierge.[1]
- Additional performers include Alice Dinnean (as a pony and the number 2), Peter Linz (as tall grey monster, lintball, and a toucan), Jim Martin (as lamb and goat doctor), and Carmen Osbahr (as a mouse), with Martin P. Robinson (as Fat Blue AM monster and tall grey monster in scene 6).
