## Trivia

* The series makes excessive use of Hanna-Barbera and HollywoodEdge sound effects.
* Although this media franchise was for kids, there are bad words being said. (Only villains say bad words.) Since it's a kids show, the bad words are bleeped.
* The animation and visuals of the show have been heavily compared with that of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, but however, that isn't right. The animation may look similar because it's made on the same software as that show, but it isn't exactly the same.
