Plot[]
Trivia[]
- Thomas Edison reappears (Johnny and the Ice Pigs), though he appears to be younger.
- Among History's other great minds are Leonardo da Vinci, Ben Franklin, Marie Curie and Alexander Graham Bell.
- Apparently, Hugh used to prank call when he was younger until he pranked the wrong guy, got plastic surgery, changed his name to "Dad" and moved to Porkbelly.
- It is unknown how Susan and Mary are still alive in 2525, though it is possible that they have invented something that causes people to live either forever or a really long time.
Goofs[]
- It's kind of hard to believe that these historical figures would get so worked up over one prank phone call that they'd take time out of their day to attack an 11-year-old and his "hairy friend"
- While Alexander Graham Bell and Marie Curie might know who Thomas Edison is, given that they lived in the same time period, Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci lived 100 and 400 years before Edison, respectively. And yet, when Edison kidnaps them they don't ask who he is. Instead, Franklin just criticizes Edison for not having a bigger time machine.
- On that note, it's never explained how Edison had a time machine in the first place, or why.
- How did Johnny know what numbers to dial to call people in the past?
- How did Edison know to go the year 2525 to get Susan and Mary's invention?
- A string telephone and a headpiece made of wood are flimsy excuses to justify how Johnny is able to communicate with Franklin and da Vinci. Why didn't Johnny call Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, or the Wright Brothers?
- Furthermore, why didn't Johnny just use *67 to get around Caller I.D.?
