## Comparisons with Dumb Ways to Die

* The original plot lines of Dumb Ways to Die, aimed at an older audience than Miss Bindergarten, were not used in the series. Instead, the existing footage was re-edited and dubbed into newly-written stories, relating to the moral lesson of the episode it featured in. As a result from different DWTD scenes being edited together, continuity errors are visible, including characters constantly changing from their alive form to their dead form, a pause button and timer appearing in scenes that were originally in the game, daylight scenes in nighttime scenes and sometimes the other way around, and abrupt style changes.
* Dumbville is renamed *Beanland*.
* Clod only appears in Dunce's nightmares.
* Their are several name changes to characters:
	+ Dippy and Botch become **Skelly** and **Amoosing** respectively, possibly to avoid trouble with the fact that their original names sounded similar to an explicit word.
	+ Dimwit is renamed to **Elecy**.
	+ Stupe is renamed to **Hikouki**.
	+ Doofus becomes **Dofus**. However, the credits show his original name, implying that his name was misinterpreted.
	+ Phoney is presented as the same character as **Dunce**.
	+ Numpty's Child is renamed to **Smokey**.
	+ Loopy becomes **Splinters**, possibly to avoid confusion with the character in Pororo.
	+ Ruckus, Zany, Madcap, Dumbbell, Boffo, and Stupa become **Puck**, **Crumple**, **Gordy**, **Bruce**, **Potty**, and **Louco** respectively and are portrayed as mean characters.
* While Dingy, Bard, Junior, Boothy, Knucklehead, and Phyllis don't receive name changes, they are also portrayed as mean characters.
* Dummkopf, Elecy, Hikouki, Doomed, and Ninny are portrayed as female characters.
* Numpty and Smokey are siblings instead of father and son.
* The events are made more kid friendly.

## Trivia

* Due to the limited footage the crew had, most of the DWTD segments often repeat a certain plot often taken from the original DWTD scenes like the drug dealer trying to kill Doomed, Dunce's dilemma with his kidneys, or Calamity getting stuck from the superglue.
* Some characters from DWTD such as Simpleton, Shonky, Nincompoop, Trump, Klaus, and Munchies, either did not appear in Bindergarten Kindergarten with speaking roles or at all.
