Trivia / Wonder Pets!

• Acting for Two: In the Latin Spanish dub, all three Wonder Pets are voiced by Miriam Aguilar.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: The male Tuck is voiced by Teala Dunn.
• He Also Did:
  • Robert Lopez (and his brother, Billy Lopez) wrote Wonder Pets music back when his biggest claim to fame was the Broadway musical Avenue Q, an adult-targeted spoof of children's television (specifically, Sesame Street).
  • Show creator Josh Selig also created Oobi, was a writer for Sesame Street, and created the character Piper O'Possum for Nick Jr. interstitials from 2004 to 2007.
• Live on Stage!: Nick Jr.'s Storytime Live crossover stage show featured the Wonder Pets themselves, adapting "Adventures in Wonderland". It was also the only live stage appearance of them all together.
• The Merch: It included everything from regular plush toys to dress-up and talking/musical toys.
• Missing Episode: For some reason "Save the Honey Bears! / Save the Stinkbug!" never seemed to air in repeats, though it was eventually made available for purchase on Amazon, and then part of the Prime package of episodes.
• Quietly Cancelled: The show spent a while petering out of existence. The supposed final episode of the show was broadcast in 2011, and the show stayed on for quite a while after. Then, in 2013, we finally got note of a new half-hour special featuring the characters. Another new regular episode was released in 2015 and then two more in 2016.
• Schedule Slip: "Save the Baby Birds!" aired on May 23, 2008, long after the rest of Season 1 had finished airing. Its sister episode had already aired in June of 2007.
  • The same incident happened later with "Kalamazoo!" which aired on July 26, 2010, long after Season 2 finished airing. Its sister episode had already aired in June of 2009.
• The Shelf of Movie Languishment: The show initially ran from 2006 to 2011, but it turned out that Nickelodeon withheld four episodes and then they dumped them randomly from 2013 to 2016. The series finale, "Save the Genie!", has a copyright date of 2010, meaning that Nick sat on it for six years.
• Stunt Casting: Steven Tyler and Ziggy Marley play the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat, respectively in the Adventures in Wonderland episode.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The sequel episode to "The Adventures of Bee and Slug", "Bee and Slug Underground", ends with the titular insects boarding a rocket ship, and getting blasted off into space, suggesting another sequel episode ("Bee and Slug in Space!"), but since the show got cancelled, the episode never came to be.
  • The episode where Ming-Ming goes to Kalamazoo was intended as a backdoor pilot for a spinoff about her. Selig pitched the show to Nick when Wonder Pets was about to end, but they rejected it.
• Working Title: The series was going to be titled The Super Singing Power Pets.
