Trivia[]

  • The full version of this short was first released in Swedish.
    • It was later released by Cartoon Network UK.[citation needed]
  • Several short previews have been released:
    • On Tumblr, the title is listed as "Just Lion things :)" with a smiley face emote.
      • The video is also tagged with #Steven Universe, #cartoonnetwork, #cartoon network, #maru, #catinabox, #kitty, #cat, #animation, #stevenuniverse, #lol, #cute and #kawaii.
    • On Vine, the title is listed as "Just Lion things 📦😸👌". The three emojis at the end of the title depict a box, a happy cat, and an "okay" hand gesture.
      • On Vine, the video is tagged with #StevenUniverse, #maru, #ifitfitsisits, #fail and #kawaii.
  • "Just Lion things" is a pun on "just lie on things", which describes the video's content.
    • "Lion in a box" is also a pun on "Lying in a box".
  • The first box that Lion attempts to sit in reads "Wacky Sacks" on the side in yellow letters. This is most likely the box that Steven's Hot Dog Duffel Bag came in, which looks exactly the same.
    • If that is the case, the short in which Steven got that bag, "Unboxing", is set before this one.
    • Lion is seen chewing on the Hot Dog Duffel Bag's box in "Unboxing".
  • Lars' line "Huh?! Again?!" is a re-used audio clip from "Gem Glow".

Cultural References[]

  • The short references Maru the cat, who is famous for a series of YouTube videos in which he jumps in and out of boxes. This is made clear with the #maru hashtag.
  • "If it fits I sits" is a phrase used as a caption for photos of cats sitting in unusual locations.
