* ActingForTwo:
** Jeannie Elias is the voice of Botley, Polly, and Ms. Winkle. So, all the conversations between Botley and Polly -- the two lead characters, mind you -- consist of Elias talking to herself. Likewise, the [=TransQuizzer=] interactions are between Polly and Ms. Winkle, which is also Elias talking to herself. Come to think of it, we hardly ever see Polly interacting with anyone who's ''not'' Botley or Ms. Winkle.
** Tony Pope voices Professor Spark and the male robots.

That source came from a parody account.


** Polly would have her villainy explained by a FreudianExcuse in the form of being the victim of both implied and visible [[AbusiveParents child abuse by her father]], with one deleted scene having him striking Polly when she had none of her inventions on her, preventing her from fighting back.
** Polly had an implied [[DeathOfAChild death scene]] in the original draft where she was trapped in her lab as an unspecified gas filled the entire room. [[CensoredChildDeath The scene cuts out as Botley tries to save Polly but fails to reach her.]]

Unintentional Period Piece is no longer a Trivia trope.


* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** At the Wheel of Invention, you're informed that trampolines were "invented over five decades ago," and asked to select the earliest year you could use a trampoline out of 1946, 1956, or 1995. The game wants you to subtract fifty from circa 1996 and get 1946. As of 2007, the arithmetic no longer gives you the correct answer.
** At another point, 2010 is offered as an incorrect answer to a question asking what year an archaeologist might be interested in. If you select it, you'll be told that "archaeologists don't study the future."
