History Trivia / CoolCatSavesTheKids

* NonSingingVoice: Cool Cat's song vocals are obviously dubbed in. Not only that, all the songs are performed by different people. In the new rap number featured in ''Cool Cat: Kids Superhero'', Cool Cat's vocals are done by Derek Savage himself!

** Johnson recommended another actor who he knew and had access to a police car to play the police officer in ''Cool Cat Finds a Gun'', but Savage turned him down due to his Scottish accent and cast Steve Crest instead.
** Savage considered sneaking an actress in a witch costume into the Hollywood Christmas Parade's audience with the intentions of filming ''Cool Cat in the Hollywood Christmas Parade'' and the unproduced ''Cool Cat vs. the Wicked Witch'' simultaneously before Johnson talked him out of it.

* NoBudget: Big time. The movie was shot on a video camera, had all of its scenes shot in one take each (resulting in many mistakes being left in), and they couldn't even afford a separate costume for Mrs. Cat. Although in his interviews, Jason Johnson said that the "Cool Cat Stops Bullying" video had a fair amount of money behind it since Derek Savage was financing it with income from his day job. For the other parts of the film, Savage didn't have as much money to work with, and so he started trying to crowdfund the footage, as well as handling most of the crew chores on his own (which explains why he's a CopiouslyCreditedCreator).

* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: The pilot episode for ''Cool Cat Flips a House'' was completed in 2020, but still has yet to receive a full release (apart from portions of it later being used in the 2022 ReCut of ''Saves the Kids'' and the upcoming ''Cool Cat vs Dirty Dog: The Virus Wars'').

** Following [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoneman_Douglas_High_School_shooting the Parkland school shooting]], a sequel, called ''Cool Cat Stops a School Shooting'', was going to be made and it was meant to be a PSA specializing in what to do in the event of a school shooting. Though it received a ColbertBump from WebVideo/MumkeyJones (who would've also starred in the film), the film's fundraising project could not get enough money in time for the deadline, so Savage tried reformatting the fundraiser for a smaller backup project called ''Cool Cat: [[TooSmartForStrangers Stranger Danger Alert]] & [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Home Cooking Tips]]'' (which is about what you would expect from such a title). Despite that, the fundraiser ultimately failed in the end, but Savage released it as "Cool Cat's Crazy Dream" in 2019, which is detailed on the main page. Despite this, Savage was clearly insistent on continuing his work on ''Cool Cat Stops a School Shooting'' and recently claimed to have finished a screenplay for it. The ending to ''Cool Cat Fights the Coronavirus'' is set up as a teaser for the School Shooting video.

*** Savage apparently thought he could get Creator/HalleBerry (!) to voice Momma Cat in ''Kids Superhero''.

*** Music/HalleBerry was another actress considered to voice Momma Cat in ''Kids Superhero''.

** For a period in late 2015, Derek Savage took to attacking anyone who uploads any content that mocks his film in any way. He's even gone as far as to threaten legal action against I Hate Everything and getting into fights with his fans on Website/{{Twitter}}, to the point where Cool Cat's Twitter account was set to private for a while. The sad part is that it didn't used to be this way. When the film was popularized by the WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg review, Derek Savage found out about it and took the criticism in stride. The only thing he complained about was the "Cool Cat is actually a pedophile" jokes, which he thought were taking things a bit too far. Otherwise, he acted far more reasonably than he did afterwards. It is unknown what exactly it was about IHE's video that made Derek angry and begin his false-flagging spree.
