Trivia / Top Wing

• Acting for Two:
  • Bryn McAuley voices Bea and Shirley Squirrley.
  • Deven Mack voices Big Bill and Roland Rhino.
  • Cory Doran voices Captain Dilly, Baddy McBat, and Grady Treegoat.
  • Stacey DePass voices Betty McBat and June Beaver.
• Adored by the Network: Nick Jr leaked the first episode on their app, is having it premiere on Nickelodeon (only the most popular Nick Jr shows get to air there), and is grouping it with some of their most popular programs such as PAW Patrol and Shimmer and Shine. Unfortunately, it later ended up getting screwed in favor of the first.
• The Cast Showoff: In "Rhonda's Rockin' Family Reunion", Brody gets to sing, showing off the talent of Lucas Kalechstein, who is an amazing singer in real life.
• Channel Hop: Starting with "Swift's Family Flying Ace/Timmy's Pirate Adventure" new episodes will air on the Nick Jr. channel.
• Children Voicing Children: All four of the main kids are voiced by actual kids.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: Due to vandalism, the Wikipedia page for the show lists numerous '90s alternative artists, including Matthew Sweet and Shirley Manson, as having done voices for the show despite no sources or evidence to the claims. This was brought up in an interview with Shirley Manson by Stereogum journalist Rachel Brodsky, who was (understandably) baffled and confirmed she was not a part of the series.
• He Also Did:
  • The creator, Matthew Fernandes, also worked on Dot. and Remy & Boo for Universal Kids, and later created several cartoons for CBC Kids, like Dex Hamilton: Alien Entomologist.
  • Producer Scott Kraft also worked on PAW Patrol, The Fresh Beat Band, its spinoff Fresh Beat Band of Spies, George Shrinks, Stickin' Around, and Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.
  • This isn't the first time 9 Story Media Group produced a show focusing on birds.
• Screwed by the Network: The show was touted as the next PAW Patrol, but when it failed to meet network rating expectations, it was dumped on the Nick Jr. side channel in September 2019, quietly ending after 2 seasons in July 2020.
• Unspecified Role Credit: The show credits only list the voice actors for Swift, Penny, Brody, Rod, Bea, and Speedy, but everyone else is credited under "Additional Voices" not saying who voiced who.
• What Could Have Been: Back in 2015, early footage of Lunch Box Rescue shows a very different Top Wing to what we know. The characters look more cartoony and younger which resembles The Octonauts, and have their original vehicles look sort of slim. Artist shows that Big Swirl was first planned to be just a town rather than an island.
