Trivia / Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own

Go To

  • Actor Allusion:
    • This isn't the first time Ingrid Nilson played a Deadpan Snarker.
    • Trip Hamston can rap just like his actor, Travis Turner.
  • Content Leak: Sometimes, episodes would be released early on iTunes and Google Play due to frequent Schedule Slips, and it only got worse with the latter half of the series.
  • Cowboy BeBop at His Computer:
    • One of the summaries for "Austin La Vista" on Zap2it refers to Trip as Twitch.
    • A similar thing happens for summaries of "Pet, Peeved" where Jade referred to by Jinx and Austin for "In the Steal of the Night" where he referred to by Duke.
    • On the Sky On Demand Sky Kids section, the icon for the show has a background from the previous 2012 incarnation.
  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Daisy Pittsbull is voiced by a male, Alessandro Juliani, who also voices Galvin and Mayor Perrito.
  • He Also Did:
  • International Coproduction: Hasbro Studios in the United States and Boulder Media in Ireland co-produce this show.
  • Missing Episode: MinikaGO in Turkey has skipped the episodes "The Purr-fect Storm," "Spooky Tails," "Fine, Feathered Fortune Teller," "The Incredible Roman and Ray," "The Jade Luck Club," and "Surprise! Paw-Zombies!". The reasons why are unknown.
  • Only So Many Canadian Actors: Naturally affected by this since the show was recorded in Canada. Interestingly enough, unlike most other Hasbro shows that suffer from this, the series isn't co-produced by DHX Media, but rather, Boulder Media which is located in Ireland.
  • Quietly Cancelled: The show just went quiet before the season was even finished, and once it was there was no more news on the series since it stopped in 2019. It's implied toy sales weren't pushing and that's pretty much a death knell for a Hasbro series.
  • Schedule Slip: The episodes "The Purr-fect Storm" and "Spooky Tails" were meant to air on the same day on Discovery Family, but the channel messed up and only the former aired, while "Crystal Fever" aired instead of the latter. To fix this, the channel aired "Spooky Tails" a week later with "So Trip Thinks He Can Dance?".
  • Screwed by the Merchandise: Despite the show bringing the franchise's art style back towards what was used during the peak of its popularity, it still only lasted one season due to poor toy sales. The primary factor of the failure was the toys' overly exaggerated facial expressions — children playing with the toys couldn't invent personalities for the pets like they had before, while older fans who made videos using the toys found that no amount of visual tricks could make these pets appear to react appropriately to situations.
  • Screwed by the Network: Reruns of this series were sparse, even when it was a new show and despite it only airing on weekends (which worked because it's a quarter-hour series with not that many episodes). This is even more egregious considering the lack of first-run Hasbro animated programming on Discovery Family since their rebrand from The Hub. The series went on an indefinite hiatus after only one season. But as of October 2023, the show returned to Discovery Family, now airing on weekdays.
  • Short Run in Peru: Nearly every episode from the first season has aired in another country before the U.S., dating back to the first 16 episodes airing early on TiJi in France. Yes, even the series premiere.
    • In Russia, the episodes "The Purr-fect Storm" and "Spooky Tails" were (possibly) planned to air on the same day as the U.S., but due to a scheduling error on Discovery Family's part, only the former successfully did so, while the latter aired first on Karusel.
    • From there the show got a bit of a breather before episodes 23 through 26 aired a few days early on MiniMini+ in Poland.
    • The biggest example of this thus far is Treehouse TV in Canada and PlusPlus in Ukraine. Since episode 26, new episodes continued to premiere in Canada, while PlusPlus has aired episodes dubbed in Ukrainian every day. PlusPlus would stop at episode 40 and go into reruns, while Treehouse has aired all but the last four episodes before going into reruns as well.
    • Turkey joined in on the "fun" by airing episode 35 early, due to MinikaGO continiously airing new episodes every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They caught up because some episodes have been banned (or skipped over), as briefly mentioned above. But they eventually held back the next day, like Ukraine, and started rerunning the start of the season...
    • ...And then it resumed airing new episodes on November 21, and by episode 43 the channel started airing episodes early again. Making the madness even worse is that by this time iTunes and Google Play were already releasing episodes way ahead of Discovery Family. However, just like Canada, they also stopped before the last four episodes.
  • What Could Have Been: According to the 2017 HasCon panel, Austin Goldenpup was originally named Duke.
  • Working Title: The series was orignally titled Littlest Pet Shop UNLeashed.
    • The TV guide Zap2it revealed some of the original episode titles for episodes 27 and onward during the mid-season hiatus.
      • "Clear the Fear" was originally titled "Fear Factor."
      • "The Jade Luck Club" was originally "Good Luck Jade."
      • "Nine Lives to Live" was originally "As the Hamster Wheel Turns."
      • "Sleepless in Paw-Tucket" was originally "Never to Bed."
      • "Biggest Fan" was originally titled "Nightmare at 30,000 Bleats," as a Shout-Out to a Twilight Zone episode.
      • "The Ancient Art of Clean Fu" was originally "Trip Kwan Do."
      • "Hidden Treasures & Guilty Pleasures" was originally "With Friends Like These."
      • "Take This Suggestion" was originally "Take This Suggestion And..."
