History Trivia / DragonTales

** Often, people will call the show ''[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Dragon Tails]]'', with this spelling being used on Ron Rodecker's obituary.

** Scott McNeil as Sid Sycamore and Captain Scallywag.

* CreatorBacklash: The show appears to be something Sesame Workshop wants to forget doing, owing to copyright issues with co-producers Sony. There's little to no mention of it anywhere on their official website, and it doesn't even have an official page.

* PlayingAgainstType: You don't get to see the otherwise awesome Creator/ScottMcNeil play a PungeonMaster tree anywhere else.

** In early August 2022, two seasons of the program were unexpectedly made available for streaming on Creator/AmazonPrime. Some of the episodes even include ''Dragon Tunes'' segments and the second, despite being listed as "To Kingdom Come & Goodbye Little Caterpoozle," is actually a 70-minute copy of the DVD release ''Adventures in Dragon Land''. Later in the month, the third season was added as well. However, as of late September 2023, the series is now unavailable.

** The gap between seasons 2 and 3 was ''two and a half years'' long, due to the 9/11 attacks [[note]]Not that there was any content in the episodes that resembled 9/11, but PBS followed suit with many networks that chose to postpone programming and make scheduling changes due to the tragedy. Some PBS stations just aired news all day, while others aired children's programming all day, including [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues several]] [[WesternAnimation/TheodoreTugboat rarely-]][[Series/TotsTV seen]] [[Series/TheNoddyShop shows]]. They withheld the final five episodes of the second season until 2002, and season 3 wouldn't air until 3 years later[[/note]] and the death of executive producer Nina-Elias Bamberger. Adding salt to the wound, half of Season 3 had the format of a new episode airing with an older one.

** An [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KbQZPHpBvzftB6KQEieUhRg753pq9eVb/view?usp=sharing ad appearing]] in the June 9-5, 1997 issue of ''Variety'', over two years before the program's premiere, mentions the show along with several other Columbia [=TriStar=] programs that were in production at the time. However, it states "Join Blaze the Dragon and Max as they romp through an interactive musical adventure of sing-alongs and wordplay." There was never any character called "Blaze" on the show and while Max did end up being a major character on the show, he rode with the dragon Ord and no mention of him would be complete without also mentioning his older sister Emmy. Also, the show ultimately did not contain any interactive elements and songs were almost always limited to interstitial segments that didn't really have anything to do with the show's contents. The ad also depicts an image of a dragon that doesn't look like any seen on the show.

** An Nickelodeon UK [[https://youtu.be/4UBd9a_dBoY promo]] from 2002 calls Emmy "Ellie", Zak "Zacky", Wheezie "Lizzie" (which is somewhat hilarious when you know it's her actual name in the Polish dub) and Ord "Org".

** There was a rumor going around for a time that {{Music/LizPhair}} performed the theme song. Phair herself has confirmed this was never the case, however.

* CastingGag: In the Japanese dub, Cassie is voiced by Creator/RieTanaka, who already voiced [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED girls]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny associated]] [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime with the]] [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureMaxHeart color pink]] ([[Franchise/{{Neptunia}} and still is]]). The same goes as well with her English voice actress as well, albeit only related with Lacus.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** A cross-language one between the Japanese dub and the original English version: Both Creator/RieTanaka and Creator/ChantalStrand (Cassie) voiced [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Lacus Clyne]] in their respective languages.
** On the western end, [[Creator/ChantalStrand Cassie]] and [[Creator/AndreaLibman Emmy]] were previously WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}} #3 and [[TheOtherDarrin Madeline]] #4. They would also go on to reappear a decade later as [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy/Pinkie Pie and Diamond Tiara]].
* TheResolutionWillNotBeIdentified: Aside from the TitleDrop to the show's name at the end and in spite of what the episode is called, "A Storybook Ending" plays out exactly like any other episode in the series. This is somewhat common among PBS Kids shows though.
* ScheduleSlip: This happened to "Just The Two of Us; Cowboy Max". It was originally supposed to air as part of the second season, but some PBS affiliates pulled it before airing. It wound up airing nationwide on April 1, 2005.

** In 2001 and 2005, two music albums were released that contained every single song from the series. The catch? They're long out of print, and due to the [[ScrewedByTheLawyers snafu with Sony's licensing]], will probably never go back into print ever again. Luckily, the first album is on Apple Music and Spotify, and, after many years of being completely lost, the second album [[https://youtu.be/s8HuqnyC860 was uploaded in its entirety]] on Website/YouTube on November 7, 2022.
