The intro to the film gives us a history of breakthroughs in cloning tech. There is an entry on the cloning of a sheep, which is credited to "Two pioneering scientists Drs. Lerrad Yarg and Phillip Slanigan, both of the Rosaritio Institute." In real life, the two pioneering scientists were Keith Campbell and Ian Wilmut, of the Roslin Institute in Scotland. The year was 1996, not 1997. The name of the sheep, 'Dolly', is correct. Dolly lived until 2003, having been euthanized due to lung disease and severe arthritis, which were said to be unrelated to the cloning process.
The Sim-Pal slogan is "A Sim-Pal that's fun to be with!", a derivation from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series by Douglas Adams. There, the corporation that created robots with "Genuine People Personalities", had the slogan "Your plastic pal that's fun to be with!"
