1	* ActorAllusion: Well, it's not the first time Bill Scott voiced something [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle moose-y]] (but sadly, it would be his last).
2	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Aside from the bootleg complete series DVD collection and the whole series floating around Website/YouTube, there has been no official (U.S.) home video release, nor any release on Creator/DisneyPlus. A few internationally-released VHS tapes exist, but those are long out of print.
3	* TheMerch: The show's merchandise included a series of children's books, a board game by Milton Bradley, a series of plushes by Hasbro Softies, and a series of puzzles by Milton Bradley.
4	* ReferencedBy:
5	** ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': Rhinokey and Butterbear appear in "[[Recap/DuckTales2017S3E20TheLostCargoOfKitCloudkicker The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!]]" as gigantic, powerful monsters fused together from other animals by the Stone of What Was. Bumblelion also makes a cameo as a carving of a lion-insect hybrid on the Stone.
6	** ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'': In "Return of the Nostalgic Commercials", one of the commercials the Critic reviews is for ''Wuzzles'' plushes by Hasbro Softies.
7	** ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'':
8	*** A sketch from "Especially the Animal Keith Crofford!" features Bumblelion and Eleroo contemplating how they came to be. What follows are cutaways of a lion having sex with a bee and an elephant having sex with a kangaroo.
9	*** A sketch from "Musya Shakhtyorov in: Honeyboogers" has Dr. Seth Brundle from ''Film/TheFly1986'' attending Eleroo's birthday party because he is half-man and half-fly, which makes him a Wuzzle by default. Brundle attempts to eat Bumblelion and Eleroo until he is shot in the head by Butterbear.
10	* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Sort of. You may note the series carries a copyright that credits both Walt Disney Productions (as it was still known) and Creator/{{Hasbro}}. [[https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/disney-afternoon-oral-history-ducktales-darkwing-rescue-rangers This was because]] Disney came up with the idea for the show, then found out Hasbro had a similar idea in development; rather than go to court over it, they instead decided to work together: Disney handled the TV show, while Hasbro did the toys. This split in ownership was a factor as to why the show only lasted 13 episodes in spite of the franchise's popularity.
11	* ShortLivedBigImpact: Only lasted thirteen episodes and has now all but fallen off the face of the Earth. However, it was ultimately a successful trial run for Disney to get into TV animation, convincing Michael Eisner to give the green light to ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears''. If not for this show, Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation as we know it wouldn't exist.
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** According to Creator/MarkEvanier, he had suggested Creator/DawsButler for a leading part in the cartoon, but he was turned down by Disney since they did not want a character sounding like a Hanna-Barbera character.
14	** There were several other Wuzzles who would've appeared in the show if it had continued: Piggypine (pig/porcupine), Koalakeet (koala/parakeet), Pandeaver (panda/beaver), Woolrus (sheep/walrus) and Skowl (skunk/owl).
