* AnimationBump: The second season is much brighter in color than the first and third seasons. The first season also has much better animation than the other two due to being animated at Creator/PhilippineAnimationStudioInc rather than Creator/MorningSun like the latter two. Also, the title sequence uses scenes from the original pilot, but were apparently reanimated for the series' debut episode, as the pilot animation looks like something out of [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren & Stimpy]].
