Go To

  • Acting for Two: With very few exceptions, Jason Steele is the only voice actor in all of the shorts.
  • Creator's Favorite: Word of God has stated that he is most proud of the "Temple of the Cats" song.
  • Crossdressing Voices: Despite being referred to as female, the Millipede has an obviously masculine voice.
  • Schedule Slip: Part one of the five-partnote  finale was released in October of 2019, part two was released in June of 2020, and part three was released in September of 2021. Parts four and five—the latter being released as all five parts together in one video—would each release a few weeks after their predecessor, finally completing the finale in October of 2021. Jason had initially claimed that the episodes would be released monthly.
  • Tribute to Fido: The Grand Finale was dedicated to Jason Steele's cat Luca, who passed away prior to it.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Jason was originally going to have Blue and Pink sing the Candy Mountain Cave song, but he couldn't sing really fast in a high-pitched voice, so he got the idea of having the letters from the Candy Mountain sign sing instead. He sang the song in a normal voice, then pitched it up.
    • After the success of the original video, [adult swim] contacted Jason about producing a Charlie the Unicorn TV show. Jason tried to retool the concept into a half-hour program, but only got as far as a network pitch before realizing he wasn't happy with the results and ultimately wound up declining their offer. In his own words, "there could have been a Charlie show, but it would have been a bad Charlie show". The pitch was eventually released as part of the "Film Cow Master Collection" DVD.
