Added DiffLines:

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: ''Allegra no Tobira'' (''Allegra's Door'') in Japan, possibly the result of a mistranslation as the original title referred to how each episode usually began and ended with Allegra looking out her bedroom window.
** ''Allegras Freunde'' (''Allegra's Friends'') in Germany.

Added DiffLines:

** A soundtrack, ''Shake Your Doodles: Allegra's Favorite Songs'' was released on CD and cassette in 1996 by Sony Wonder at the same time as the ''Series/GullahGullahIsland'' soundtrack. While the ''Gullah Gullah Island'' CD was reissued by Kid Rhino in 1997 after Nick and Sony's deal was over, the ''Allegra's Window'' CD was never reissued (as the show was no longer airing new episodes) and tends to run for high prices online.

While ''Storytime Sing-Along'' is available on Archive.org, the other two are nowhere to be found, with ''Sing Along with Allegra and Lindi'' starting to fetch high prices on [=eBay=].
