## Trivia

Episodes featuring characters in same-sex relationships (e.g. Lettuce and Buncho Bananas, Kitty Scanner and Kitty Cash Register) were banned from airing on Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe, whose feed is shared with some countries where homosexuality is seen as taboo. Same-sex relationships are recognized in Croatia, however.

* As such, "Out on a Limo", "Brawl in the Family", and "Write and Wrong" were not aired as they were paired with the banned episodes.

"Recipe for Disaster" and "Zach Attack" were aired only once and do not air in reruns for reasons unknown, while in the episode "Undercover Mom", Kitty Scanner's line "My girlfriend Kitty Cash Register and I..." was changed to "My friend Kitty Cash Register and I..." to censor any references to their relationship.

However, there have been several exceptions:

* "Ties That Bind" and "No Bus No Fuss" aired once on Nickelodeon.
* "Friendzy", "What Wood Lincoln Do?" and "Cooked!" were aired, as Lettuce, Buncho Bananas and Kitty Cash Register appeared, but had no speaking roles.
* "Stall Monitor" and "Antiqued Off" were aired, giving Lettuce and Buncho Bananas speaking roles in this dub.
* "Deep Cuts", "Snoop's On", "Band Together" (until 2022) and "Hiccups and Downs" were aired, giving Kitty Cash Register a speaking role in the dub, as her relationship with Kitty Scanner was not brought up.
* "The Loud House & Casagrandes Hangin' at Home Special" dubbed many scenes from the banned episodes despite them not airing, although some the banned episodes still air (albeit rarely).
* All banned episodes from Seasons 1-5 premiered on Sky Showtime Europe streaming service with Croatian dubbing in Portugal, however, they are not available for Croatian viewers at this moment.
	+ From February 14, 2023, the series is available for Croatian viewers, while "Cat-astrophe", "Prize Fighter" and "Food Courting" premiered on March 15, 2023 on Sky Showtime.

## Voice differences

* Rainbow Kate's voice sounds very similar to her original voice but with a slightly different laugh.
* Peppa-Mint speaks with a raspy voice rather with a lisp in the original.
* The Friendship Chair speaks with a deeper voice rather than the original.
* Bunny Cart's voice tends to raise mid-word, and then again at the end of every sentence unlike the original.
* Kitty Scanner's voice is deeper as of Season 3, though it was high pitched in the first two seasons.
* In the original Summer Peaches has a fairly tomboyish voice and is voiced by an actress (Kelcee Perry) who is much older than herself, her voice actresses Lana Blaće and Cvita Pasturović voice her with a higher and more teen girl-esque voice.
* In the first two seasons, Yolka used to have a Shtokavian accent until Season 3, when she was given a Kajkavian accent which suits her better due to her living on a farm.

## Trivia

* The Kindi Kids' surname is localized as **Ljubaznija**.
* When Kitty Scanner speaks with a Swedish accent in "Undie Pressure", it was localized in this dub, where she speaks with a Dalmatian accent instead. It was also localized for the Dutch, Finnish, Italian, European Spanish and Swedish dubs.
* In "Breaking Dad", The Friendship Chair speaks with a Dalmatian accent, rather than a British accent in the original.
* The song Bunny Cart claims that helps her pee in "Everybody Loves Leni" ("Row, Row, Row Your Boat") was localized to "Bratec Martin", a Croatian version of the song "Frère Jacques".
* The pilot and shorts are not dubbed, except for "King of the Chair".
* Like most Croatian dubs of Nickelodeon shows, the dub cast isn't accredited on screen.
* All of the songs are left in English except for "We Got This", the song in "Stressed for the Part", and the jingle song from "Haunted House Call".
* When Cindy Pops and Bunny Cart appear in the theme song, the lyrics *"Hey! Hey! Hey!"* are not sung.
	+ It's also the case with the Serbian, Slovene and Sinhala dubs.
* Starting from "Cow Pie Kid" onward:
	+ The old title card reader (Krunoslav Klabučar) returns since Season 1, but only for "Cow Pie Kid" and "Saved by the Spell", as the current one (Daniel Dizdar) returns after that and he would remain as lector until "Eye Can't", when he was replaced by Nikola Marjanović starting with "Dine and Bash".
	+ However as of "Time Trap!" Daniel Dizdar returns as lector.
	+ Summer Peaches' new voice actress, Cvita Pastuović, sounds nearly identical to Lana Blaće but with a slightly higher voice and more of a teen girl-esque tone to it.
	+ Beary Chill's voice is slightly deeper, though it went back to its original pitch in later episodes.
	+ Pearlina is now voiced by a child actress rather than a adult woman (Karmen Sunčana Lovrić) as of "Rumor Has It"
* Before Cindy Pops was recast in "Garage Banned", Monika Berberović briefly did half of her lines in "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos" due to her first voice actress Petra Vukelić being unavailable at the time.
* Ranko Tihomirović, the voice actor for Mr. Grouse From Season 3 to the first half of Season 6 and Honey Hearts' 2nd voice actor, died on December 12, 2021. He was credited in "Stressed for the Part", "Double Trouble", "Haunted House Call", "The Taunting Hour", and "A Bug's Strife" as Mr. Grouse posthumously, while his role as Honey Hearts was replaced in Season 3 of Shopkins onward.
	+ Mr. Grouse was subsequently given a new voice actor as of "Dine and Bash".
	+ Thus, Tihomirović was the ninth international crew member of *Kindi Kids* to pass away.
* Some of the voice cast are members of The Zagreb City Comedy Theater: Aleta Arbanas Rendulić, Lana Blaće, Kristina Habuš, Boris Barberić, and Dragan Peka.

	+ Zoom the Ambulance Unicorn and Casper Cap asking Macy Macaron to help heal their injuries from "Vacation Daze"
	+ All of Mike Rophone's lines from "The Two of Clubs"
* Despite "High Crimes" getting leaked online in 2021, the episode aired early in Croatian before the U.S. airdate on Nicktoons CEE of the same year and it aired on March 4, 2022 in the U.S.
* Dee Bradley Baker's vocal effects for all of the male Kindi pets and other animals along with Audrey Wasilewski as Geo and Nacho are retained in this dub.
* In "Hurl, Interrupted" the Croatian title reference of this episode was localized to "Rigoleto" which shares the same name as *the opera*.
* "Stressed for the Part" and "Puns and Buns" are the only Rainbow Kate and Benny-centric episode that aren't paired with the banned episodes which feature Pickup Pup's fathers or Kitty Cash Register in any capacity whatsoever although the episodes "Stage Plight" and "A Pimple Plan" both aired in 2021 on Nickelodeon CEE.
