* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The platypuses from ''The Australian Platypus'' have bills that resemble duck bills, being able to open and close, instead of gray bills that don't. This was necessary since part of the plot involves one of them mistaking a duck for another platypus. They also have furry arms and legs instead of webbed feet, so they can gesture more easily.

''Animaland'' was the brainchild of David Hand, former Creator/{{Disney}} animator famous for directing ''Disney/{{SnowWhiteandtheSevenDwarves}}''. When Hand moved to Britain, he set up his own studio and tried to make shorts that would compete with Disney.
Unfortunately, Hand failed to find a US distributor and only nine shorts were ever produced.
The nine shorts of ''Animaland'' are:
*''The Cuckoo'' -- About a cuckoo tormenting a sparrow's nest.
*''The Lion'' -- An adolescent lion finds love on the plains.
*''The House-Cat'' -- Similar to the aforementioned Lion, only [[{{ExactlywhatitsaysontheTin}} with a housecat]].
*''The Australian Platypus'' -- A courtship between platypuses.
*''The Ostrich'' -- A mother and son Ostrich explore the ruins of Egypt.
*''Ginger Nutt's Bee Brother'' -- Making his first appearance, Animaland's mascot Ginger Nutt (a red squirrel) has a bit of bee problems when delivering flowers to his girlfriend Hazel.
*''Ginger Nutt in It's a Lovely Day'' -- Ginger Nutt goes fishing, and Corny Crow wants to join in with zany results.
*''Ginger Nutt Christmas Circus'' -- A ChristmasSpecial and a crossover featuring all the characters from the series either as performers or spectators in a Circus.
*''Ginger Nutt in Forest Dragon'' -- The last of the shorts; Corny and company antagonize Ginger disguised as a savage monster.

*CelebrityVoiceActors: No voice credits were given, but it is widely believed comedian Bob Monkhouse voiced Corny Crow.
*ChristmasSpecial: Though "Christmas Circus" is only tangentally related to Christmas, it is set during the holiday season.
*{{Crossover}}: "Christmas Circus" features every major character to have appeared in the shorts, effectively welding each distinct continuity together as one.
*DarkerandEdgier: ''The Cuckoo'' is probably the most disturbing of the shorts.
*GoKartingwithBowser: Heroes and villains alike participate and watch the Christmas Circus.
*GoldfishPoopGang: Though not villains per se, Conry Crow and his accomplices Loopy Hare and Dusty Mole certainly act like a Goldfish Poop Gang.
