* NoExportForYou: This is one of the few animated TV series Disney didn't bring to Japan. This is especially odd, because the Super NES game based on the show not only was programmed in Japan by Creator/{{Capcom}}, but it also had a Japanese version, despite the show wasn't shown there. It also had animation production over there as well.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Only six total episodes were released on VHS (and all were Lucky episodes); the rest are unaccounted for. And good luck trying to find the episode that was banned from Creator/ToonDisney due to the Oklahoma bombing (and later 9/11), because that hasn't been seen for even longer than the rest of the show. Now averted, since the entire series was eventually released on Disney+.

* WordOfGod: According to Greg Weisman, co-creator of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' who helped developed ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'', contrary to popular belief, the show was ''not'' conceived as a replacement for a ''Roger Rabbit'' cartoon that never came to be.
