A 2017 toon on CBC Kids based on an educational app from 2014

  • All There in the Script: the names of the three blue jay moms in "Blue Egg" are not spoken in episode but are revealed in the end credits. To ascertain which is which a viewer with a good ear has to match up voices with two of the actresses' other roles. Judy is voiced by Amelia Wasserman who did Becca the Chicken (and Bev, a human in earlier episodes) while Jackie is voiced by Nicole Bauman, who voices Robin later in the episode. June is determined by process of elimination as Elisa Le Grow had no other role in the episode.

  • Bunnies for Cuteness: Miku
  • Canine Companion: Ori
  • Catchphrase: "Let's make and do!" (also used in opening song)

  • Reality Warper: Zuzi can bring to life the things she paints in midair. Like sheep.
  • Team Title: Lazoo is about the Lazoo Crew operating out of Lazooville.
  • The Face of the Sun: "Sunny" is a recurring character. In Cock-a-doodle Sneeze they even wake her up prematurely so as to begin the day earlier. She lying on the ground.
  • Theme Naming: the two anthros on the Lazoo Crew have Japanese names. Miku the rabbit girl and Hoshi the lion boy. Zuzi and Zarg have Zs like the show. All 3 Bluejay moms have names starting with J.
