Tropes associated with Stardust:
- What Could Have Been: Stardust was originally going to produce the CGI series of Thomas & Friends, but it was decided that Nitrogen would take over instead. However, they did provided test animation for the episode "Thomas and the Stinky Cheese" to show the HIT Entertainment executives. Although Stardust didn't take over Thomas, Dino remained as an animation director during the twelve season.
