I don't think this was mentioned anywhere. As I remember it, Drop Dead Fred contains what seems to be an homage to a scene in the Fellini Film Juliet of the Spirits. Toward the end of both films, there is a scene where the protagonist encounters her child self bound to a bed. She proceeds to unbind and free her child self. I remember both scenes as being quite moving and beautiful. This is based on decades old memories of both films, so I hope I'm not misremembering. But there ya go. A very belated omission.
