There are some that don't have British accents, like Podgy, the Fox brothers, Edward, and Algy to name a few.


** For a brief time (specifically from late 2000 to early 2001) the show was actually aired on Playhouse Disney, Nick Jr.’s rival programming block. (This run was so short that for a time, virtually no information existed online about it). What’s more, it was given a timeslot that it it had also had on Nick Jr. However, the intro user wasn’t the Nick Jr. one, but the Canadian instrumental one.

* TitleSequenceReplacement: Like ''WesternAnimation/LittleBear'', the show had two seperate theme tunes: an instrumental one used in Canada, and one with vocals used on Nick Jr. airings in the U.S. However, during the brief period where Playhouse Disney syndicated the show in the U.S., the Canadian opening was used!

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Luckily averted for the show. [[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/rupert-bear-dragged-into-court/article1014930/ In 2003]], Nelvana was sued by The Daily Express (the franchise's then owner) for neglecting the property (in spite of owning exclusive commercial rights to it since 1989) after the show was cancelled in 1997 (at the same year the companies extended the licensing deal to 2004). Some months later, The Daily Express won back all rights to Rupert; [[http://www.toonhound.com/sept2003.htm however, they allowed Nelvana to retain ownership and distribution rights to their cartoon series]].
