Line #6 Trivia/PepperAnn


1	* ActingForTwo: Creator/JeffBennett voices Dieter Lederhosen, Craig Bean and Peter Oglevee.
2	* BannedEpisode: The segment "In Support Of" (where Pepper Ann thinks she needs a bra for an upcoming trampoline lesson in phys ed and ends up flashing her gym class) was only shown on ''[[Creator/OneSaturdayMorningAndABCKids One Saturday Morning]]'' once, and later shown on the Creator/{{UPN}}-based ''Disney's One Too''. When the show was brought to Creator/DisneyChannel and Creator/ToonDisney (at least in America; overseas versions do air this -- some with edits), it allegedly disappeared, as the censors reportedly felt the story was too risque. When the show finally made its debut on Creator/DisneyPlus, the segment was included completely restored (albeit from the [[MediaNotes/DisplayTechnology PAL]] masters of Season 1 and some later-series episodes that Disney+ uses) and unaltered, and even given a [[MediaNotes/MediaClassifications TV-Y]] in the US.
3	* BeamMeUpScotty: The phrase "Too Cool to be Twelve" is often associated with Pepper Ann despite never being used in the show itself. The theme song features a similar phrase ("much too cool for seventh grade"), and an episode title from the show's final season ("Too Cool to be Mom") also alludes to it, but it was only ever used in promotional material.
4	* ChannelHop: 26 episodes from season 3 premiered on the UPN block ''Disney's One Too'', while simultaneously airing on One Saturday Morning.
5	* CrossDressingVoices: Moose, who is Pepper Ann's younger sister, is voiced by Creator/AlanFernandoVelazquez in the Latin American Spanish dub.
6	* DevelopmentGag: The song that Crash sings to Pepper Ann in "Mash into Me" was originally written as the show's theme song. According to writers Madellaine Paxson and Eddie Guzelian, the song was scrapped early on in production because Disney executives wanted something more upbeat and bouncy.
7	* DirectedByCastMember:
8	** In the Latin American Spanish dub:
9	*** The first three episodes were directed by Gabriel Cobayassi, who voices additional characters.
10	*** Yamil Atala is Principal Hickey's voice actor as well as the ADR director for the first two seasons.
11	*** Diana Santos directed the last three seasons and has a minor role as Mindy.
12	** The Italian dub was directed by Leslie La Penna, who provided the show's off-screen voice.
13	* FakeNationality: American Creator/JeffBennett voices the German Dieter.
14	* IronyAsSheIsCast: Pepper Ann is a DreadfulMusician, while her actress Kathleen Wilhoite is a singer-songwriter in her own right.
15	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: There are no video or DVD releases of the show, except for a very rare VHS released by Disney Educational Productions, intended for use by teachers, that contained two segments.[[note]]"Dances with Ignorance", which taught about Native American history and how racial stereotypes can be hurtful, and "The Telltale Fuzzy", which taught about guilt and honesty (the latter episode was about Pepper Ann finding a roll of money at the mall and immediately buying a velvet Fuzzy painting rather than turning it in to mall security to see if anyone who lost the roll comes looking for it)[[/note]] There were some episodes available on Website/YouTube, but Disney took them down in 2013. All the found episodes have been uploaded to [[http://www.facebook.com/pepperannuniverse this fan page, complete with some dubs.]] It last aired when Toon Disney was still a channel and didn't officially re-appear on TV or home video until its September 2021 addition to Creator/DisneyPlus, making its first time seen outside of a channel.
16	* OutOfOrder: When the show premiered on Disney+, most of the fifth season's episode segments were released willy-nilly, which explains why "[[GrandFinale The Finale]]" is slotted two episodes short of where it should be.
17	* PlayingAgainstType: April Winchell and Pamela Adlon were in three cartoons that aired on One Saturday Morning -- this, ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries''. In the latter two shows, Winchell played antagonistic characters to Adlon's characters. In this show, however, she plays a doting, perky mom who's very nice and mostly gets along with her daughters, one of whom is played by Pamela Adlon.
18	* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Creator/CreeSummer voices the James twins, Tessa and Vanessa.
19	* PopCultureUrbanLegends: There were some rumors that Pepper Ann’s real name is "Jennifer."
20	* PostReleaseRetitle: "Bye Bye Trinket" is listed on Disney+ as "Bye-Bye Trinket, Bye-Bye". The on-screen title is unchanged.
21	* ReferencedBy:
22	** ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'': Pepper Ann and Lydia make [[TheCameo cameo appearances]] in "The Stolen Cartoons", the series' first episode. After Pete gets kicked out of the titular club for trying to sabotage the show, he lands near Pepper Ann and Lydia, who are standing on a street corner. Lydia tells Pepper Ann "Don't touch the villain, dear!"
23	** The ''WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain'' episode "Squeeze Play" contains a song about Brain's alter-ego Patty Ann that is similar to this show's theme song.
24	* TechnologyMarchesOn: "Reality Bytes" is full of this. Dial-up internet, chatrooms, pop-ups and newsgroups galore!
25	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
26	** The show was developed at Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. After the executive who supported the project, Linda Simensky, left for Creator/CartoonNetwork, the show was eventually picked up by Disney.
27	** In the aired version of "In Support Of", a nervous Pepper Ann has Moose try on bras for her at the mall. Originally, Milo was going to be the one trying on the bras. The scene made it all the way to the animation stage before Disney executives forced the writers to change the scene. Director Brad Goodchild posted an animation cel of the original scene to his blog, but it has since been deleted.
28	** In a similar example, the aired version of "Hazelnut's Finest" (where Pepper Ann and friends have to film a relative doing their job), has Milo mentioning filming his aunt, who works on a pit crew. In the original script, the line is mostly the same, except Milo instead mentions his aunt's ''girlfriend''.
