The Cast Showoff: "Duke the Musical" is one for Alan Tudyk, who shows off his singing skills with the song "Big Time".
Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: Initially, the production notes of the show stated that Gazelle would be subject to The Other Darrin, with Allison Trujillo Strong taking over from Shakira. However, in the credits of the episode Gazelle was in, it was shown that Shakira indeed reprised her role as the character.
Early-Bird Release: "Hopp on Board" and "Godfather of the Bride" were first shown at D23 Expo 2022.
Invisible Advertising: A full trailer for the show didn’t premiere until two days before its debut.
Yax's brief appearance in "Hopp on Board" is now done by John Lavelle, rather than Tommy Chong.
Peter Mansbridge is absentnote The reasons could be from simple inavailbility or not being asked all the way up to Disney+ being a direct competitor to the CBC, so Peter Moosebridge has been recast with an uncredited actor (it is unknown if his international replacements even appear on their countries' version of the series).
Release Date Change: Originally, this was meant to air around Spring 2022, but for unknown reasons, was pushed back to November 9th, 2022.
Role Reprise: Nearly all of the characters from the film have their original voice actors here, including Bonnie Hunt as Bonnie, Don Lake as Stu, Leah Latham as Fru Fru, Alan Tudyk as Duke, Maurice LaMarche as Mr. Big, Nate Torrence as Clawhauser, Idris Elba as Chief Bogo, Shakira as Gazelle, Raymond S. Persi as Flash, and Kristen Bell as Priscilla. Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman also return as Judy and Nick respectively, albeit through archived audio, so they recorded no new lines.
