Line #44 Trivia/TheMagicAdventuresOfMumfie


1	* {{Bowdlerise}}: The Norwegian dub mutes out any time Mumfie sneezes, probably because it sounds more like farting than sneezing. There's an odd exception to this: the episode "Lighter Than Air". They also combined the last two episodes of "Mumfie's Quest".
2	* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: This show has so many people who get details incorrect about it, that [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer.TheMagicAdventuresOfMumfie it got its own page for this trope]].
3	* CrossDressingVoices: All the characters are voiced by the same person who narrates the story, so all the girls (except The Queen of Night and The Queen of Light, who are voiced by the series' creator, Britt Allcroft) have these. Averted with the songs, however.
4	** In the Japanese dub, Mumfie is voiced by a girl. It's clearly noticeable during the songs.
5	* CutScene: A few scenes were cut from the original TV versions of "Mumfie's Quest" to make the movie. Here are a few of them:
6	** The Beginning of Things: Scarecrow tries to break up a fight between two pigs and Pinkey, telling them that they shouldn't bully her due to her wings.
7	** A Whale Of Discovery: An adorable scene where Mumfie plays in the water, Mumfie accidentally calling Whale a mountain and explaining part of his backstory to the gang and a scene where Mumfie doesn't know how to sleep in a hammock were cut.
8	** Pinkey's Mysterious Island: A scene where Mumfie trips in the forest after hearing a scary noise and hums "The Beginning of Things" to calm down, part of "Gotta Dance, Gotta Whistle, Gotta Sing", and a longer scene where the tree sucks him in.
9	** Sparks In The Dark: Anytime Eel mentions jam jars.
10	** Friendship Is A Circle: The title song got cut.
11	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ask anyone who their favorite character is from this show, and 95% of the time, they will say that Scarecrow's their favorite. He's so liked that almost nobody hates him!
12	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show is more popular in Norway and the [=USA=] than it is in its homeland of Britain. Norway was even the first country to get the show on DVD.
13	** Like its sister show WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends, it was also popular in Japan, with the videos of the series constantly appearing in the top 5 anime videos each time a new one came out, and there were plans for Japanese merchandise. Unfortunately, neither the post-"A Treasure Beyond Price" episodes or the merchandise were ever released in Japan either, because of Kei Tomiyama's death or [=ForteMusic=] dissolving into Columbia Music Group.
14	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Averted -- for a while, only a few episodes were released on tape, including the pilot movie, the Christmas special, and four volumes containing episodes from the TV series, two of which are very difficult to find. After Britt got the rights back from Hit, she eventually released them on DVD and they're available to watch on Hulu, Amazon Instant Video and Netflix (the later only has up to "Let's Go Fly A Kite").
15	** Currently, 17 episodes are missing from Hulu and Amazon Instant Video -- see MissingEpisode below.
16	* MemeticMutation: The term "what-iffer", originally used for Scarecrow, is commonly used for people who worry a lot. It also helps that Scarecrow's the EnsembleDarkhorse.
17	* MissingEpisode: The Hulu and Amazon Instant Video run skips the 13 episodes that made up the Mumfie's Quest movie to not confuse people. Four other episodes are missing because Britt Allcroft [[OldShame didn't think they were good enough]].
18	** The Music Of Spring
19	** Lighter Than Air
20	** Flying Fever
21	** Aiming For The Moon
22	* NonSingingVoice: All the characters have this.
23	* OutOfOrder: The episode "The Album" reveals the order in which the episodes after Mumfie's Quest happened. This reveals that they originally aired out of order. The order they are supposed to go in is as follows:
24	** Captain Jellybean's Treasure Hunt (the fourth aired)
25	** The Black Cat Disappears (the sixth aired)
26	** Things That Go Bump (the eighth aired)
27	** A Grouper's Teeth (the seventh aired)
28	** The Lonely Cloud (the twenty-third aired)
29	** The Guest (the twenty-second aired)
30	** Scarecrow's Birthday Surprise (the third aired)
31	** Scarecrow's New Best Friend (the fifth aired)
32	** Mumfie and the Wellwisher (the first aired)
33	* PeripheryDemographic: A lot of older people like this show for the same reasons Thomas is liked. Britt even addresses these people on her website.
34	* TheMerch: There was tons of Mumfie merchandise back when the show was still airing, and on the heels of the recent relaunch of the series and [[UnCancelled the upcoming uncancellation of the show]], there are plans to release more of it. The first items will be t-shirts, plush toys and books.
35	* UnCancelled: Britt is currently working on the fourth season of this series.
36	* VanillaEdition: The 2014 Lionsgate release has no bonus features, but starts with ''WesternAnimation/LeapFrog'' and ''{{Toys/Lalaloopsy}}'' trailers.
37	* ViewerGenderConfusion: Many sellers of Mumfie merchandise believe that Mumfie is a girl, because of the character's pink jacket. Mumfie is a boy.
38	** One Website/YouTube comment on the episode "Sparks in the Dark" said "A cross-dressing male eel. Nice." Eel is actually a girl. The commenter might have been confused as a result of her [[CrossDressingVoices cross-dressed role]].
39	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Paramount was to have released VHS and [=DVDs=] of the show over a 15-year period beginning in 2000-2, with two released each year excluding the first, which included three titles. Two episodes from the second wave of Mumfie videos (which included [=DVDs=] as well) were to include "Cabin Fever" and "Scarecrowella".
