History Trivia / HollyHobbieAndFriends

* FranchiseKiller: The series has an interesting case of this when the producers of the show decided to change several aspects of the franchise from the fifth DVD on. Said DVD, ''Fabulous Fashion Show'', was so badly reviewed across the board, with an overall 1.3/5 on Amazon with 18 reviews, compared to 4+ star averages for the others, that it all but killed the franchise. The subsequent DVD, ''Marvelous Makeover'', rebounded to 3.3 stars, but the various changes that had been made to the series, such as moving to 22 minute stories and [[TheOtherDarrin replacing most of the voices with Canadian talent]], were still generally poorly regarded. Making things worse was the shoddy voice replacement job - the new cast sounds nothing like the old one, and while they opted to use a NonSingingVoice for the titular character, the singing voice and speaking voice weren't even matched either. Aside from that, the characterizations were all botched and the characters were passing the IdiotBall around. The show's final picture book release was seen a bit later in 2008, and afterwards, production on all media was discontinued entirely until 2017, where the franchise was rebooted into a live-action series.

* NoExportForYou: There are no records of the direct-to-DVD shows being aired or released outside of North America, and the toys are pretty much this trope straight. The only thing that got exported are the books.

** NonSingingVoice: From ''Fabulous Fashion Show'' onwards, Holly's talking and singing voices are helmed by two different [=VAs=]. It wouldn't had been so bad [[TheyJustDidntCare if the director had matched the voices properly]]...

* HeyItsThatVoice: You may or may not recognize them as sounding the same as voices from other productions, but in the earlier releases, Alyson Stoner (yes, [[Film/CampRock THAT]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts Alyson]] [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Stoner]]) is Holly Hobbie, Jane Lynch is Joan Hobbie / Minnie, Creator/DeeBradleyBaker is numerous voices including Holly's dog Doodles, and famous country artist Leann Rimes performs the theme song and is the voice of the widow Kelly Deegan in ''Christmas Wishes''.
