** Regarding the ShipToShipCombat and the subsequent Zutara ShipSinking, Bryan and Mike have said multiple times that Aang and Katara were always meant to be the OfficialCouple as far back as when season one was still coming out. [[http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/interviews.php?id=18 One interview:]]
--> '''BK:''' I think it's important to note one thing I have heard from the internet is that some fans have the idea we've put shipping into the show because they've asked for it...requested it. This is totally not the case. Mike and I like to do melodrama stuff and we wanted that in there. Not that it's all cheesy, but we wanted that from the get-go. Five years ago when we were developing this.
--> '''MDD:''' Yeah, Aang-Katara, that romance. Some stuff developed along the way, and we're glad some fans are more receptive to that element of the show, but it was in the DNA of the thing from the start.
** Nickelodeon's site states the final fate of Azula: [[spoiler:locked up in an asylum and monitored around the clock for her own protection. She just may have a chance of recovery in the future, however]]. This later gets fully canonized in [[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch a comic book sequel]].
** Upon the conclusion of its sequel series ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Mike and Bryan confirmed on their [[http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/105916338157/korrasami-is-canon-you-can-celebrate-it-embrace personal]] [[http://michaeldantedimartino.tumblr.com/post/105916326500/korrasami-confirmed-now-that-korra-and-asamis#notes tumblrs]] that [[spoiler:Korra and Asami were indeed meant to be a couple]].
** It was confirmed in the Book 4 commentary that Zuko has a granddaughter. Fire Lord Izumi was going to play a bigger role in the season, but they couldn't fit her in in an Earth Kingdom-based story. Her daughter was going to come with her to Republic City to deal with the Kuvira situation. They also pitched the idea that she was going to be Mako's love interest, but they decided to focus on his relationship with his friends.
* Following his split with Disney, ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' creator Creator/GregWeisman [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/faq/ has addressed]] many obscure questions otherwise unanswered by show material and is considered the authoritative source, to the point most fans do not consider the last season {{canon}}. The comic book moreover continues where the second season left off and completely ignores the third season.

* In an interview with ''Film Pictorial'', Creator/WaltDisney confirmed that Mickey and Minnie Mouse are married in "RealLife", but they keep it ambiguous so that [[AnimatedActors their characters can play various roles:]] a couple, a courtship, just met, etc. Walt mentioned that the studio had [[SeriousBusiness received sacksful of letters from viewers concerned about their relationship,]] (in 1933!) proving that shipping animated characters is OlderThanTelevision.
* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=], have said on numerous occasions that Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable [[OneTrueLove will be together forever]] and were meant to get together from the start of the series. The director Steve Loter has said that the alien villains died, and that Shego and Drakken are definitely dating at the end of "[[StockSeriesFinales Graduation]]".
* This is common with the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' creators, specifically Tommy Andreasen. Below are some examples, though '''beware of spoilers in the links''':
** Andreasen confirmed on [[https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/779339605929779200 Twitter]] that [[spoiler:Zane was over 40 years old when his original body was destroyed.]]

* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' often explain the "real meaning" of various episodes on DVD commentary--such as "Homer's Enemy" being about how a "normal" person couldn't survive in Springfield, or (more recently) "The Principal and the Pauper" being a jab at the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute idea.
* ''Franchise/Ben10'':

Some fans like to ignore it, because [[LyingCreator he lied]] once, about [[spoiler: Grandpa Max's fate]], though it could be said that lying was the only way to preserve any suspense when asked that question.
** Derrick J. Wyatt has answered many fan questions relating to ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Omniverse]]'' on his [[https://ask.fm/DerrickJWyatt ask.fm account]].
** Duncan Rouleau has also answered many fan questions on ''Website/{{Twitter}}'' about the [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 2016 reboot]]. See [[https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Omnitrix_(Reboot)#Duncan_Rouleau here]] for some examples.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** The franchise has featured numerous instances of this, but in particular, ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' featured a [[ContinuityCameo cameo]] by an unnamed red Bumblebee-like robot. When character designer Derrick Wyatt saw that [=TFWiki.net=], in accordance with its policies on nameless characters, was referring to the character as "Little Red Autobot," he wrote in and told them that the character was indeed named Cliffjumper and the page should be [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cliffjumper_(Animated) moved to that name.]] Also, he clarified Alpha Trion's role in the Autobot government (He's the civilian leader, as opposed to Ultra Magnus' military leadership).
** Two volumes of a book called ''The Allspark Almanac'' have been published. It is comprised of almost entirely Word of God, including things like the name of the planet Sentinel, Optimus, and Elita visit in "Along came a Spider" (Archa-7); the name of Ultra Magnus' hammer (The Stormbringer); what Meltdown's creatures were before they were mutated (his lawyer and stock broker); and the name of his company (Biotech Unbound).
* If you want some Word of God relating to ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers,'' swing by [[http://www.adultswim.com/shows/venturebros/indexpage.html#video the official site]] and watch some of the authors' appearances at conventions. (Beware, the third season finale is relentlessly spoiled.) They are just as likely to provide background information as they are ShrugOfGod and AscendedFanon, and are very entertaining while doing it. The DVD commentary also has tons of info that didn't make it into the show [[http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com Jackson Publick's LiveJournal]] and [[http://www.myspace.com/dochammer Doc Hammer's old MySpace page]] are good too.
* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20101017134514/http://edwardkay.net/blog/2009/04/30/illustrator-wanted-jimmy-two-shoes-goes-to-asia-oz/comment-page-1/ This (now archived) discussion]] with co-creator Edward Kay contains several insights on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', including information about [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the infamous pilot]] (confirming Miseryville was indeed meant to be {{Hell}}), revelations and explanations about the series' setting and characters (who knew [[YesMan Samy]] was a [[TheStarscream Starscream]]?), and ideas for the future (like [[TheDreaded Lucius I]] getting defrosted) ultimately never came to be.
* In both the ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}'' books and animated series, the character Badger walks using crutches. Though it has never been stated on either of those, Word of God on the official Internet site for the series revealed that she has cerebral palsy.
* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower''. The script writers have clarified on social media that a lot of character minutae - versus broad story beats mutually agreed upon or marketing information largely outside their control - can depend heavily on a particular writer's personal interpretation of a character. Topics have included the intended ages of certain characters or (more humorously) exactly how furry Catra actually is.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' provided very little backstory for most of the main characters and none at all for the characters created specifically for the show who never appeared in the original comics. However, Word Of God from Amy Wolfram has given us an origin story for the Amazing Mumbo: he was an ordinary StageMagician who got his hands on a real magic wand, which gave him FunctionalMagic at the [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity expense of his sanity]]. This is stated in the special features on the third season DVD.
* Creator/DwayneMcDuffie, creator of ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', has stated [[http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=226749&page=5 here]] that Richie, Static's sidekick and best friend, is in fact [[WordofGay gay]], as is his comic book counterpart. When asked if Static knew, he replied "Not yet."
* Creator/LaurenFaust often provides supplementary details for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' in her Website/DeviantArt page [[http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ seen here]]. Said details include, but are not limited to, Scootaloo's inability to fly is the result of a disability, Scootaloo's parents never show up onscreen because they have demanding jobs, Applejack's parents are dead, and Celestia and Luna were born as alicorns. As Lauren has left the show, she makes sure to note that the information she provides should not be considered canon, although current Word of God [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/714301014044704769 says]] [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/714302254833131521 that]] her visions are indeed canon.
* Dan Norton, the art director of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]'' set up a [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150907022202/http://crewofomens.tumblr.com/ Crew of Omens blog]] to answer fan questions and also uses [[http://dingo107.deviantart.com/ deviantArt]] to post concept art and model sheets, frequently posting fan art on the blog, including both Yaoi and fetish art.
* Creator/PendletonWard's [[http://www.formspring.me/buenothebear formspring]] almost seems to contain more background information about ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' than the show itself does. If you include WordOfSaintPaul from creative director Adam Muto, character designer Natasha Allegri, and others, there's no contest. Ages, species, lands, history, clarification, there's a lot on there. (This may be in part because of Adventure Time's notoriously RuleOfCool driven nature.) Notably, Ward confirmed that Ooo is set AfterTheEnd years before this was explicitly confirmed in the show itself.
* When an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' had Sonic confronted by Mark the Tapir, an obsessive fanboy of the blue hedgehog, many fans realized the character's designs and quirks were almost point for point the same as Christine Weston Chandler, the infamous creator of ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', thinking the writers were making fun of ''her'' and her odd obsessiveness with the franchise. The writers have gone on record stating that it was complete coincidence that Mark resembled Chris-chan, and that the character was lampooning obsessive fans in general.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Due to the ambiguous ending of the episode [[Recap/SouthParkS19E6TweekXCraig Tweek X Craig]], fans were left debating whether or not the two really got together for real or were just faking like they were earlier that episode. The Season 19 Bluray commentary, [[http://cheylouwho.tumblr.com/post/149428485516/here-we-go-the-moment-everyones-been-waiting Matt and Trey have addressed Craig and Tweek as a gay couple]], which is moreso present in [[Recap/SouthParkS21E2PutitDown Put it Down]].
** On Tumblr, when responding to a photo post involving Kyle saying "But the point is, there’s nothing about it that means Tweek and Craig are actually gay at all.", the Official South Park blog responded, [[http://southparkdigital.tumblr.com/post/132256050532/machinyan-but-the-point-is-theres-nothing "Are you SURE?"]], implying that they actually do feel for each other. The blog also [[http://southparkdigital.tumblr.com/post/137031056202/im-your-tweek-and-youre-my-craig posted a gif]] from "Tweek x Craig" and tagged it with "creek is canon".

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Mike and Bryan have divulged that Aang does, in fact, have a tattoo there.
** The two of them also confirmed that Jet [[spoiler: really is dead. In commentary, they laughed that he's now in "Hot Guy Heaven"]]. The in-series lack-of-clarity on the issue is later {{Lampshaded}} in season 3.
** They've also confirmed that no, the Air Nomads as a people aren't gonna make a comeback. (which [[AdamAndEvePlot tends to fall on deaf ears.]]) Although the continuation in ''Korra'' does at least confirm that the discipline of airbending does survive. Plans changed years later in ''Book Three'' of Korra, in which numerous non-benders are given the power of Airbending and Tenzin is able to bring the Air Nomads back from the brink of extinction.
** A minor one from ''Korra'': After the RelationshipWritingFumble in season 1 that made Mako look like a cheating jerk, fans pounced on him advising Bolin to "pull off the leech" in his own bad relationship. Mike and Bryan stepped in and clarified that it was just a play on the expression "rip off the band-aid," and he wasn't calling Asami a leech.
* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' have reportedly stated that Helga's mother is an alcoholic, although they knew that saying so directly would never fly on Nickelodeon. Incidentally, they said in the same interview that Arnold's last name is [[spoiler:Shortman]]. In another interview, they confirmed that Arnold eventually ends up with Helga.
* Dan Povenmire and "Swampy" Marsh, the creators of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' have responded to questions about a few issues, including the first names of the Fireside Girls. Povenmire also commented that both [[ToyShip Phineas and Isabella]] and [[PrecociousCrush Ferb and Vanessa]] would get together one day, even [[HookedUpAfterwards if it doesn't happen]] on the show.
* In an interview, Creator/SteveBlum has stated that WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime [[TheStarscream Starscream]] once swallowed a bird. It remains unclear whether or not he was joking.
* The Executive Producer of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' confirmed [[spoiler: Cassidy Williams and Ed Machine's]] deaths. It was common speculation that he may not have been telling the truth, and that they were just hiding. In the series finale, [[spoiler: Cassidy (and presumably Ed Machine) are both alive in the alternate timeline created by the destruction of the Nibiru Entity. This means that they actually did end up dying in the original timeline, as they never returned in it]].
* People love the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Donnie and April relationship]] and have so many fan-works available. However, unbeknowst to some of them, the creators only made Donnie crush on April for comic relief. April's real love interest is introduced in season 2 and he's someone whom she's been paired up with since the original comics.
* A fan once asked Britt Allcroft why [[WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie Mumfie the elephant]] doesn't wear underwear. The reason? [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs It doesn't have any relevance or meaning to the plot]]. It was also stated that even if he was and it was relevant, the animators forgot to draw it on.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'':
** For ''WesternAnimation/ChannelChasers'''s DistantFinale involving Timmy's children Tommy and Tammy, Butch Hartman stated that the identity of their mother was supposed to be ambiguous and that they're supposed to have traits of all potential mothers. However, ''Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner'' and its sequels [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] Channel Chasers' ending and by extension Tommy and Tammy Turner out of existence entirely.
** Butch Hartman also stated that A.J.'s last name is not [[WordOfDante Ibraham]] and that he has no confirmed last name.
* Jorge Gutiérrez really likes to give tidbits of his characters/answer fan questions regarding ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. There's enough of this trope in the movie for it to have [[WordOfGod/TheBookOfLife its own separate page]].
* Producers Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, and Greg Johnson have said that ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'', the "Wolverine" short of ''WesternAnimation/HulkVS'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' all take place in the same universe, despite the countless continuity snarls that seem to say otherwise. [[GodNeverSaidThat However,]] they've never said the same thing of the "Thor" short in ''Hulk Vs.''
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'''s creators are very open in answering fan questions about the show.
** Creator/OlanRogers states in a special insider clip for episode 2 that anything that happens to the characters on the show is permanent and cannot be reversed--for example, when Gary lost his left arm to the Lord Commander in Episode 2, he lost it forever.
** When asked in a final thoughts livestream on how old all of the characters are, Olan responded with the following. Gary is 30, Quinn is 32, KVN is 5, and Avocato is 512. However, Olan’s statement about Gary being 30 is contradicted in “The Sixth Key”, when Gary reveals that he is 32 years old.
** Little Cato’s age was disputed amongst the staff. Rosa Tran, the shows supervising producer claimed that Little Cato was 13 years old but [[FlipFlopOfGod Olan says in another livestream that Little Cato was 15]]. “The Notorious Mrs Goodspeed” however has Little Cato reveal that he was 14 years old.
** Olan claimed [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalSpace/comments/8gm2h0/the_ages_of_characters_olans_ideas_feel_off/ Mooncake to be 5001]]. This [[WriterConflictsWithCanon is impossible]], since flashbacks show Mooncake was created when Gary's father John Goodspeed closed a breach to Final Space, which can't have been more than 20 to 30 years prior to the events of Season 1 considering Gary, who is 32, was a child when this happened (and old enough to remember it). Fortunately, Olan later confirmed on Reddit that he was joking about Mooncake’s age.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Regarding the ShipToShipCombat and the subsequent Zutara ShipSinking, Bryan and Mike have said multiple times that Aang and Katara were always meant to be the OfficialCouple as far back as when season one was still coming out. [[http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/interviews.php?id=18 One interview:]]
--> '''BK:''' I think it's important to note one thing I have heard from the internet is that some fans have the idea we've put shipping into the show because they've asked for it...requested it. This is totally not the case. Mike and I like to do melodrama stuff and we wanted that in there. Not that it's all cheesy, but we wanted that from the get-go. Five years ago when we were developing this.
--> '''MDD:''' Yeah, Aang-Katara, that romance. Some stuff developed along the way, and we're glad some fans are more receptive to that element of the show, but it was in the DNA of the thing from the start.
** Nickelodeon's site states the final fate of Azula: [[spoiler:locked up in an asylum and monitored around the clock for her own protection. She just may have a chance of recovery in the future, however]]. This later gets fully canonized in [[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch a comic book sequel]].
** Upon the conclusion of its sequel series ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', Mike and Bryan confirmed on their [[http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/105916338157/korrasami-is-canon-you-can-celebrate-it-embrace personal]] [[http://michaeldantedimartino.tumblr.com/post/105916326500/korrasami-confirmed-now-that-korra-and-asamis#notes tumblrs]] that [[spoiler:Korra and Asami were indeed meant to be a couple]].
** It was confirmed in the Book 4 commentary that Zuko has a granddaughter. Fire Lord Izumi was going to play a bigger role in the season, but they couldn't fit her in in an Earth Kingdom-based story. Her daughter was going to come with her to Republic City to deal with the Kuvira situation. They also pitched the idea that she was going to be Mako's love interest, but they decided to focus on his relationship with his friends.
* Following his split with Disney, ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' creator Creator/GregWeisman [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/faq/ has addressed]] many obscure questions otherwise unanswered by show material and is considered the authoritative source, to the point most fans do not consider the last season {{canon}}. The comic book moreover continues where the second season left off and completely ignores the third season.
* Creator/ButchHartman stated in several interviews and videos that the ghosts in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' are really monsters from a different dimension, that being the [[PhantomZone the Ghost Zone]]. This does explain why they can have offspring and apparently age, and is backed by Danny's mom once describing them as "ectoplasmic manifestations of post-human consciousness" in one episode, implying that they're simply monsters that ''think'' they're dead humans. Butch Hartman [[https://youtu.be/xpnBYCR6-d4 later released a video]] explaining few things about the Ghost Zone that weren't seen in the show proper.
* In an interview with ''Film Pictorial'', Creator/WaltDisney confirmed that Mickey and Minnie Mouse are married in "RealLife", but they keep it ambiguous so that [[AnimatedActors their characters can play various roles:]] a couple, a courtship, just met, etc. Walt mentioned that the studio had [[SeriousBusiness received sacksful of letters from viewers concerned about their relationship,]] (in 1933!) proving that shipping animated characters is OlderThanTelevision.
* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=], have said on numerous occasions that Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable [[OneTrueLove will be together forever]] and were meant to get together from the start of the series. The director Steve Loter has said that the alien villains died, and that Shego and Drakken are definitely dating at the end of "[[StockSeriesFinales Graduation]]".
* This is common with the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' creators, specifically Tommy Andreasen. Below are some examples, though '''beware of spoilers in the links''':
** Andreasen confirmed on [[https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/779339605929779200 Twitter]] that [[spoiler:Zane was over 40 years old when his original body was destroyed.]]
** He revealed in a [[https://youtu.be/LCUzfH9eHPk?t=4607 YouTube comment]] that [[spoiler:time does not [[YearInsideHourOutside pass slower]] in the Never-Realm as the show seemed to imply, but rather, Zane was simply sent to the past when he was banished there.]]
* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' often explain the "real meaning" of various episodes on DVD commentary--such as "Homer's Enemy" being about how a "normal" person couldn't survive in Springfield, or (more recently) "The Principal and the Pauper" being a jab at the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute idea.
* ''Franchise/Ben10'':
** Dwayne [=McDuffie=] ran [[http://dwaynemcduffie.com.lamphost.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=00edd79718b089661967297dadeb14c7 a Q&A thread]] about ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', where he (among other things) clarified such contested points as Gwen's magic and Kevin's powers. Some fans like to ignore it, because [[LyingCreator he lied]] once, about [[spoiler: Grandpa Max's fate]], though it could be said that lying was the only way to preserve any suspense when asked that question.
** Derrick J. Wyatt has answered many fan questions relating to ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Omniverse]]'' on his [[https://ask.fm/DerrickJWyatt ask.fm account]].
** Duncan Rouleau has also answered many fan questions on ''Website/{{Twitter}}'' about the [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 2016 reboot]]. See [[https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Omnitrix_(Reboot)#Duncan_Rouleau here]] for some examples.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** The franchise has featured numerous instances of this, but in particular, ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' featured a [[ContinuityCameo cameo]] by an unnamed red Bumblebee-like robot. When character designer Derrick Wyatt saw that [=TFWiki.net=], in accordance with its policies on nameless characters, was referring to the character as "Little Red Autobot," he wrote in and told them that the character was indeed named Cliffjumper and the page should be [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cliffjumper_(Animated) moved to that name.]] Also, he clarified Alpha Trion's role in the Autobot government (He's the civilian leader, as opposed to Ultra Magnus' military leadership).
** Two volumes of a book called ''The Allspark Almanac'' have been published. It is comprised of almost entirely Word of God, including things like the name of the planet Sentinel, Optimus, and Elita visit in "Along came a Spider" (Archa-7); the name of Ultra Magnus' hammer (The Stormbringer); what Meltdown's creatures were before they were mutated (his lawyer and stock broker); and the name of his company (Biotech Unbound).
* If you want some Word of God relating to ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers,'' swing by [[http://www.adultswim.com/shows/venturebros/indexpage.html#video the official site]] and watch some of the authors' appearances at conventions. (Beware, the third season finale is relentlessly spoiled.) They are just as likely to provide background information as they are ShrugOfGod and AscendedFanon, and are very entertaining while doing it. The DVD commentary also has tons of info that didn't make it into the show [[http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com Jackson Publick's LiveJournal]] and [[http://www.myspace.com/dochammer Doc Hammer's old MySpace page]] are good too.
* [[https://web.archive.org/web/20101017134514/http://edwardkay.net/blog/2009/04/30/illustrator-wanted-jimmy-two-shoes-goes-to-asia-oz/comment-page-1/ This (now archived) discussion]] with co-creator Edward Kay contains several insights on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', including information about [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the infamous pilot]] (confirming Miseryville was indeed meant to be {{Hell}}), revelations and explanations about the series' setting and characters (who knew [[YesMan Samy]] was a [[TheStarscream Starscream]]?), and ideas for the future (like [[TheDreaded Lucius I]] getting defrosted) ultimately never came to be.
* In both the ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}'' books and animated series, the character Badger walks using crutches. Though it has never been stated on either of those, Word of God on the official Internet site for the series revealed that she has cerebral palsy.
* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower''. The script writers have clarified on social media that a lot of character minutae - versus broad story beats mutually agreed upon or marketing information largely outside their control - can depend heavily on a particular writer's personal interpretation of a character. Topics have included the intended ages of certain characters or (more humorously) exactly how furry Catra actually is.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' provided very little backstory for most of the main characters and none at all for the characters created specifically for the show who never appeared in the original comics. However, Word Of God from Amy Wolfram has given us an origin story for the Amazing Mumbo: he was an ordinary StageMagician who got his hands on a real magic wand, which gave him FunctionalMagic at the [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity expense of his sanity]]. This is stated in the special features on the third season DVD.
* Creator/DwayneMcDuffie, creator of ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', has stated [[http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=226749&page=5 here]] that Richie, Static's sidekick and best friend, is in fact [[WordofGay gay]], as is his comic book counterpart. When asked if Static knew, he replied "Not yet."
* Creator/LaurenFaust often provides supplementary details for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' in her Website/DeviantArt page [[http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ seen here]]. Said details include, but are not limited to, Scootaloo's inability to fly is the result of a disability, Scootaloo's parents never show up onscreen because they have demanding jobs, Applejack's parents are dead, and Celestia and Luna were born as alicorns. As Lauren has left the show, she makes sure to note that the information she provides should not be considered canon, although current Word of God [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/714301014044704769 says]] [[https://twitter.com/TheBiggestJim/status/714302254833131521 that]] her visions are indeed canon.
* Dan Norton, the art director of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]'' set up a [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150907022202/http://crewofomens.tumblr.com/ Crew of Omens blog]] to answer fan questions and also uses [[http://dingo107.deviantart.com/ deviantArt]] to post concept art and model sheets, frequently posting fan art on the blog, including both Yaoi and fetish art.
* Creator/PendletonWard's [[http://www.formspring.me/buenothebear formspring]] almost seems to contain more background information about ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' than the show itself does. If you include WordOfSaintPaul from creative director Adam Muto, character designer Natasha Allegri, and others, there's no contest. Ages, species, lands, history, clarification, there's a lot on there. (This may be in part because of Adventure Time's notoriously RuleOfCool driven nature.) Notably, Ward confirmed that Ooo is set AfterTheEnd years before this was explicitly confirmed in the show itself.
* When an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' had Sonic confronted by Mark the Tapir, an obsessive fanboy of the blue hedgehog, many fans realized the character's designs and quirks were almost point for point the same as Christine Weston Chandler, the infamous creator of ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', thinking the writers were making fun of ''her'' and her odd obsessiveness with the franchise. The writers have gone on record stating that it was complete coincidence that Mark resembled Chris-chan, and that the character was lampooning obsessive fans in general.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Due to the ambiguous ending of the episode [[Recap/SouthParkS19E6TweekXCraig Tweek X Craig]], fans were left debating whether or not the two really got together for real or were just faking like they were earlier that episode. The Season 19 Bluray commentary, [[http://cheylouwho.tumblr.com/post/149428485516/here-we-go-the-moment-everyones-been-waiting Matt and Trey have addressed Craig and Tweek as a gay couple]], which is moreso present in [[Recap/SouthParkS21E2PutitDown Put it Down]].
** On Tumblr, when responding to a photo post involving Kyle saying "But the point is, there’s nothing about it that means Tweek and Craig are actually gay at all.", the Official South Park blog responded, [[http://southparkdigital.tumblr.com/post/132256050532/machinyan-but-the-point-is-theres-nothing "Are you SURE?"]], implying that they actually do feel for each other. The blog also [[http://southparkdigital.tumblr.com/post/137031056202/im-your-tweek-and-youre-my-craig posted a gif]] from "Tweek x Craig" and tagged it with "creek is canon".

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Mike and Bryan have divulged that Aang does, in fact, have a tattoo there.
** The two of them also confirmed that Jet [[spoiler: really is dead. In commentary, they laughed that he's now in "Hot Guy Heaven"]]. The in-series lack-of-clarity on the issue is later {{Lampshaded}} in season 3.
** They've also confirmed that no, the Air Nomads as a people aren't gonna make a comeback. (which [[AdamAndEvePlot tends to fall on deaf ears.]]) Although the continuation in ''Korra'' does at least confirm that the discipline of airbending does survive. Plans changed years later in ''Book Three'' of Korra, in which numerous non-benders are given the power of Airbending and Tenzin is able to bring the Air Nomads back from the brink of extinction.
** A minor one from ''Korra'': After the RelationshipWritingFumble in season 1 that made Mako look like a cheating jerk, fans pounced on him advising Bolin to "pull off the leech" in his own bad relationship. Mike and Bryan stepped in and clarified that it was just a play on the expression "rip off the band-aid," and he wasn't calling Asami a leech.
* The creators of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' have reportedly stated that Helga's mother is an alcoholic, although they knew that saying so directly would never fly on Nickelodeon. Incidentally, they said in the same interview that Arnold's last name is [[spoiler:Shortman]]. In another interview, they confirmed that Arnold eventually ends up with Helga.
* Dan Povenmire and "Swampy" Marsh, the creators of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' have responded to questions about a few issues, including the first names of the Fireside Girls. Povenmire also commented that both [[ToyShip Phineas and Isabella]] and [[PrecociousCrush Ferb and Vanessa]] would get together one day, even [[HookedUpAfterwards if it doesn't happen]] on the show.
* In an interview, Creator/SteveBlum has stated that WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime [[TheStarscream Starscream]] once swallowed a bird. It remains unclear whether or not he was joking.
* The Executive Producer of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' confirmed [[spoiler: Cassidy Williams and Ed Machine's]] deaths. It was common speculation that he may not have been telling the truth, and that they were just hiding. In the series finale, [[spoiler: Cassidy (and presumably Ed Machine) are both alive in the alternate timeline created by the destruction of the Nibiru Entity. This means that they actually did end up dying in the original timeline, as they never returned in it]].
* People love the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Donnie and April relationship]] and have so many fan-works available. However, unbeknowst to some of them, the creators only made Donnie crush on April for comic relief. April's real love interest is introduced in season 2 and he's someone whom she's been paired up with since the original comics.
* A fan once asked Britt Allcroft why [[WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie Mumfie the elephant]] doesn't wear underwear. The reason? [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs It doesn't have any relevance or meaning to the plot]]. It was also stated that even if he was and it was relevant, the animators forgot to draw it on.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'':
** For ''WesternAnimation/ChannelChasers'''s DistantFinale involving Timmy's children Tommy and Tammy, Butch Hartman stated that the identity of their mother was supposed to be ambiguous and that they're supposed to have traits of all potential mothers. However, ''Film/AFairlyOddMovieGrowUpTimmyTurner'' and its sequels [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] Channel Chasers' ending and by extension Tommy and Tammy Turner out of existence entirely.
** Butch Hartman also stated that A.J.'s last name is not [[WordOfDante Ibraham]] and that he has no confirmed last name.
* Jorge Gutiérrez really likes to give tidbits of his characters/answer fan questions regarding ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. There's enough of this trope in the movie for it to have [[WordOfGod/TheBookOfLife its own separate page]].
* Producers Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost, and Greg Johnson have said that ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'', the "Wolverine" short of ''WesternAnimation/HulkVS'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' all take place in the same universe, despite the countless continuity snarls that seem to say otherwise. [[GodNeverSaidThat However,]] they've never said the same thing of the "Thor" short in ''Hulk Vs.''
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'''s creators are very open in answering fan questions about the show.
** Creator/OlanRogers states in a special insider clip for episode 2 that anything that happens to the characters on the show is permanent and cannot be reversed--for example, when Gary lost his left arm to the Lord Commander in Episode 2, he lost it forever.
** When asked in a final thoughts livestream on how old all of the characters are, Olan responded with the following. Gary is 30, Quinn is 32, KVN is 5, and Avocato is 512. However, Olan’s statement about Gary being 30 is contradicted in “The Sixth Key”, when Gary reveals that he is 32 years old.
** Little Cato’s age was disputed amongst the staff. Rosa Tran, the shows supervising producer claimed that Little Cato was 13 years old but [[FlipFlopOfGod Olan says in another livestream that Little Cato was 15]]. “The Notorious Mrs Goodspeed” however has Little Cato reveal that he was 14 years old.
** Olan claimed [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalSpace/comments/8gm2h0/the_ages_of_characters_olans_ideas_feel_off/ Mooncake to be 5001]]. This [[WriterConflictsWithCanon is impossible]], since flashbacks show Mooncake was created when Gary's father John Goodspeed closed a breach to Final Space, which can't have been more than 20 to 30 years prior to the events of Season 1 considering Gary, who is 32, was a child when this happened (and old enough to remember it). Fortunately, Olan later confirmed on Reddit that he was joking about Mooncake’s age.
