==Trivia==
*The animation for this short series was done using traditional hand-drawn animation technique by Flux Animation in Auckland, New Zealand.https://fluxmedia.co.nz/portfolio/how-not-to-draw/
*The shorts' premise is reminiscent of the Looney Tunes shorts Duck Amuck and Rabbit Rampage and also has similarities to the viral video series Animator vs Animation.
*The second short features Mickey whistling on a boat, an obvious reference to Steamboat Willie.
* In the seventh short, Minnie, instead of her red skirt with white polka dots, wears a plain blue skirt similar to the one she wore in the 1936 short, Mickey's Rival. 
**Additionally, Minnie is seen wearing her pink dress and bow with white polka dots from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures and Mickey Mouse Funhouse towards the end of the seventh short.
*The beginning and the end of the second short where Mickey doesn't have his ears and can't hear anything is a reference to episode 9 of the 2013 Mickey Mouse series, Bad Ear Day.
*This is the first time Debra Wilson voices Daisy Duck outside of Mickey Mouse Funhouse, the stop-motion holiday specials, and Mickey's Christmas Tales.
*Zeno Robinson voiced the animator in the Mickey and Suga Mama episodes, while Dee Bradley Baker voiced the animator in the Doof episode. Debra Wilson also voiced the animator in the Moon Girl episode while Sarah-Nicole Robles also voiced the animator in the Minnie episode.
*The series was added to Disney+ on August 2, 2023.
*Dan Povenmire recorded himself doing the "A Platypus? Perry the Platypus?!" line for "Dr. Doofenshmirtz Cartoon Come to Life!" for Doofenshmirtz on October 8, 2022.Doing Doof Again (Dan Povenmire)
*In the part where Dr. Doofenshmirtz erases Candace's mouth in "Dr. Doofenshmirtz Cartoon Come to Life!", a table napkin with sketches of Phineas can be seen; which is the drawings that Dan Povenmire drew in a restaurant which became the inspiration for him to create Phineas and Ferb with Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.
*Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur were the first Marvel characters to be the subject of an episode.
*Flik became the first Pixar character to be the subject of an episode, marking his true return to animation 25 years since A Bug's Life. Additionally, his appearance was probably meant to be a cross promotion with the Disney+ docuseries by National Geographic, A Real Bug's Life, hence why the episode featured scientific facts about ants.
*Wally Wingert replaces Dave Foley as Flik, as he's done for a couple of projects.
*The episode description of Flik's episode is a reference to the A Bug's Life attraction at the Disney parks It's Tough to Be a Bug.
*"Scratch Comes to Life" makes this the first time The Ghost and Molly McGee content was made in traditional animation rather than flash animation.
*The Star Wars episode was made to celebrate Star Wars Day as the episode was released on May 4th, which is when Star Wars Day is.
*The Donalds featured in "Donald Duck Cartoon Comes to Life" are:
**Paul Rudish's Donald design
**The modern Donald design
**The Wise Little Hen design
**Carl Barks's Donald design
**DuckTales reboot's design
* The Donald Duck episode is made to co-alongside the character's 90th birthday, hence the birthday party theme and the versions of Donald featured in the episode.
*At the end of the Grunkle Stan episode, a cipher code in its mock up YouTube error screen is shown reading: "HTTP ERROR 502: EB WUDQVODWLQJ WKLV FRGH BRX DUH KHUHEB DJUHHLQJ WR OHW ELOO FLSKHU WDNH SHUPDQHQW FRQWURO RI BRXU PLQG. JRRG OXFN ZLWK WKDW!" When translated it reads: "BY TRANSLATING THIS CODE YOU ARE HEREBY AGREEING TO LET BILL CIPHER TAKE PERMANENT CONTROL OF YOUR MIND. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!"
