| 1 | * AllStarCast: The Dutch dub is full of legit rock stars, [[Music/GoldenEarring Barry Hay]] as Rock being the most famous one, and other famous people from the entertainment biz (see [[https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Dad_the_Rock_Star#Nederlandstalige_versie here]] for a full list). |
| 2 | * CreatorChosenCasting: Creator/LawrenceBayne was Gene Simmons' personal choice for the role of Rock Zilla. |
| 3 | * CrossDressingVoices: Creator/JoanneVannicola as the voice of Willy Zilla.[[note]]Joanne Vannicola would later identify as non-binary, but at the time they voiced the character, they did not[[/note]] |
| 4 | * PlayingAgainstType: Creator/DonFrancks, most famous for voicing the infamous villain Sabretooth, here voices CoolOldGuy Skunk. |
| 5 | * RereleasedForFree: The series is free to watch on Platform/YouTube and Tubi. |
| 6 | * SoMyKidsCanWatch: Gene Simmons has said that he had always wanted to create a cartoon series with a loud rock star for his kids. The idea of the cartoon supposedly started off when Gene's son, Nick in his kindergarten days, brought in a picture of Gene drooling blood and spitting fire for a project of what his parents do. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Gene Simmons had made attempts to pitch a cartoon prior to this series. Originally, he had pitched a show about animated versions of Music/{{KISS}} to Creator/SabanEntertainment, but nothing came out of it due to a fallout with Haim Saban. |
| 8 | ** Gene also tried to pitch something that involved KISS iconography more, but his bandmate Paul Stanley firmly nixed that because he worried about potential conflicts with the brand. |
| 9 | * WriteWhoYouKnow: Gene Simmons based the Zillas on his own family. Rock is clearly an AuthorAvatar for himself, while Willy is based on his son Nick, Crystal is based on his wife Shannon Tweed (who, being Canadian, was able to help him pitch the series to Creator/{{Nelvana}}), and Serenity is based on his daughter Sophie. |
