Total DramaRama

## Summary

"*Total DramaRama re-introduces favorite cast members like loveable Owen and uptight Courtney but ages them down from teenagers to toddlers. While the cast may be pint-sized, their teen personalities are fully-formed with the voices we know and love and each episode is packed with dream sequences, cutaways, visual jokes, confessionals and flashbacks. So, whether it’s using Uber to have a Ferris Bueller-style day off or scaring away a new teacher, our cast is ready to scale the walls, hack the school computer and do whatever it takes, because make no mistake... these toddlers are here to PLAY!*"

## Trivia

* This spin-off greatly differs from the other series:
	+ While the other two series are parodies of reality TV, this one is a slice of life comedy.
	+ The episodes are 11 minutes long rather than 22.
	+ Characters from its big sister show, *6teen* appear in the show.
	+ It has a slightly different art-style.
* According to Christine Thompson, Total DramaRama occurs in an alternate universe. Characters from 6teen, another Fresh TV-developed series created by Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch, are also set to appear.
* All the children are 4 years old, as confirmed by Christine Thompson.
	+ According to Tom McGillis, Cartoon Network originally wanted to make the cast 11 years olds, but McGillis and his team suggested making them a lot younger. They thought that if they did make them 11 years olds, it will limit the number of stories they can tell.
* Because the spin-off takes place in an alternate continuity, every character knew each other when they were children.
	+ Hilariously, MacArthur mentions in Dude Buggies that Jen Masterson of *6teen* was her babysitter, implying she is younger than the cast of *6teen.* Here, she is older than both Jude and Nikki.
* Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch decided to create Total DramaRama as they wanted to try something new and different with the franchise.
* For a while, the show was conveniently called "*Total Drama Daycare*", but that was later changed to "*Total DramaRama*" because Fresh TV didn't want young kids to mistakenly think the show is about preschool.
	+ Coincidentally, the new title is the same as the one Anne Maria mentioned in her audition tape as a silly reference to Total Drama World Tour.
* Imagine spots and flashbacks of the children are often depicted in the form of children's drawings, using the same art style as Owen's stories in The Sucky Outdoors, The Aftermath: III, and *Oh My Izzy.*
* While it is unknown which city the daycare is located, it has the same background scenery as New York City in A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars.
* This is the only series not to have Clé Bennett as part of the voice cast.
* This is the first season in the franchise since Total Drama All-Stars, where new episodes are released on a weekly basis on Cartoon Network.
* There are additional characters from the main series who make silent appearances in this series, such as Katie, Trent, DJ, and Geoff.
* Eleven of the original 22 contestants from Total Drama Island, exactly half, are cast members in this series. Like most other iterations of the franchise, Screaming Gopher characters have been favored over Killer Bass ones in terms of focus and screen time. Additionally, seven Gophers made the cut for the spinoff as opposed to only four for the Bass.
* Ezekiel, Justin, Tyler, Sadie, Eva, and Lindsay are the only six of the original twenty-two contestants that have yet to make an appearance in the series.
* Even though this is a spin-off, this is the first time where members of the first, second and third generation casts, as well as characters from Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, appear together.
