Go To

1* ActorAllusion:
2** Yin dressing up as [[Anime/SailorMoon a sailor scout]] is probably this, considering Sailor Venus is one of Creator/StephanieMorgenstern's most well-known roles.
3** The same goes, through in less degree, in the Japanese dub, as [[Creator/YokoHonna her voice actress]] also voiced another MagicalGirlWarrior, in this case, [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Nagisa Misumi/Cure Black]].
4** On a more likely note, Smoke's voice actor also voiced Sailor Moon herself, and Smoke acts like a magical girl, so....
5* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: Although the show primary uses Toronto-based voice actors, they also occasionally used American actors as well that are either comedians (e.g. Creator/JamesBelushi, Creator/BillEngvall, Creator/SethMacFarlane, etc.) or Disney sitcom-alumni (e.g. Creator/JasonEarles, Creator/MitchelMusso, Creator/KyleMassey, etc.). Steve Marmel, alongside directors John Fountain and Eric Truehart, direct the actors remotely from Los Angeles.
6* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Downplayed. Creator/ScottMcCord and Creator/StephanieMorgenstern sing a grand total of one line each in a theme song that is otherwise performed by Kyle Massey.
7* HeAlsoDid:
8** Yang and Yuck's voice actor, Creator/ScottMcCord, is also [[Anime/{{Bakugan}} Dan Kuso]].
9** Smoke, Saranoia and Ella-Mental (Creator/LindaBallantyne) are Manga/SailorMoon.
10* RealLifeRelative: In the Italian dub, Carl and Herman are voiced by real life brothers {{Creator/Nanni|Baldini}} and Creator/OresteBaldini.
11* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12** [[Creator/JorgeGutierrez Jorge R. Gutierrez]], from ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'' fame, [[https://mobile.twitter.com/mexopolis/status/1029941902399827968 was hired]] as a character designer on the show, but was fired as a result from taking too many liberties and stirring away from the show's design style in his initial submissions.
13** According to Bob Boyle, the pitch pilot of the series used a [[https://www.awn.com/animationworld/man-two-heads-shows Los Angeles-based voice cast]] with well-known voice actors. But when the series went to production, for a cost-effective procedure and since the oversea studio was located in Toronto, Disney settled on a Canadian-based cast. This diminished Bob's fear on outsourcing the series because it allowed him access to new talent that impressed him.
14** A third season was originally announced to air in 2010, but the show was unfortunately cancelled thanks to the closure of Creator/ToonDisney's Jetix block and the launching of Creator/DisneyXD, leaving the show with an unresolved cliffhanger.
15** Bob Boyle [[https://www.awn.com/animationworld/man-two-heads-shows had hoped]] back when the series premiered to expand on the show's universe and eventually have an anime-styled spin-off, but the show was cancelled after the second season.
16** According to John Fountain, who directed the first season, his initial design for the "Skelewog" was for a more detailed, pointed design while Boyle did the final design to a more rounded, abstract look.
17*** Fountain was also initially supposed to design and produce the first comic book for the series due to Boyle's unavailability, but as a result of Boyle's schedule clearing up, Boyle decided to do the comic instead.
