* ArtEvolution: Justified, as standard TV animation has gone through so many drastic changes in the twenty years since the last episodes of the original series aired. In addition to the more streamlined designs and colored eyes (instead of BlackBeadEyes) on all of the characters, the animation itself managed to bypass the switch from cels to digital ink-and-paint entirely and go straight to [[UsefulNotes/ToonBoom ToonBoom]] puppet animation.

The series was originally going to be all-CG, but presumably, the show's budget was blown getting Creator/KateMcKinnon and Creator/LinManuelMiranda, thus a crapload of corners had to be cut.

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Carlos not only has a rat that is ''by itself'', but the cage is ''way'' too small (especially the wheel) for that rat. This could be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] - because these are ''children'', who probably didn't do their reading.
