Go To

  • Acting for Two: An unknown voice actor voiced Dokko, Wally and Carlin in the "Leap to the Future" season, before getting replaced by another new actor. Another actor also voices Chiko, Olga and Pin and the third actor voiced Krash and Barry.
  • Crossdressing Voices: In a strangely inverted example, the English dub of "Year of The Sheep" has the female alternate versions of main characters voiced by their original versions' voice actors (except Rosa and Olga, who is unchanged).
  • Fake Scot: The English dub of Season 2 has Olga and Chiko speak with a Scottish accent.
  • The Other Darrin:
    • In Russian version of "Archaeologist's Day", Chiko was voiced by Mikhail Chernyak, briefly replacing Vladimir Postnikov. Likewise, Rosa was voiced by Yulia Rudina in "The Great Cleaning". Interestingly, this was one of the few times she wasn't voiced by Kseniya Brzhezovskaya (Rosa's replacement VA) when her original actor, Svetlana Pismichenko, wasn't available.
    • In the English dub produced by 3Beep, Krash is voiced by Peter Linz (who also voiced him in movies) instead of Billy Bob Thompson, and Dokko is voiced by an unknown actor instead of Tyler Bunch.
    • Starting with "Dancing with Bees", due to 3Beep being replaced by another dubbing studio, the cast was changed entirely, with the characters being voiced by currently unknown actors. Starting with "A Planet on a Turnkey Basis", Wally, Carlin, Dokko and Rosa have new (and also unknown) voice actors.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Petersburg Animation Studio initially wanted PinCode to become a huge multi-franchise of its own. For example, there were plans for a television program Master Pin, of which only a pilot episode was made. It was going to be hosted by Pin (animated in 3D by studio Pilot TV) and his human friend named Master (played by Alexander Lenkov) and had similar educational purposes.
    • The English dub for the series was originally going to be handled by Audioworks Producers Group, who, for some reason, dropped out of the project.
    • A fourth season called "Professions of the Future" was planned, that, for unknown reasons, is still unfinished. Many episodes' titles and synopses have circulated around the internet, but it's unknown if they will ever be produced.
      • "Cultivated Luggage" (Культурный багаж): This episode involved Dokko inventing a hellish device called "Shkafandr" (likely a Portmanteau of words "шкаф" (closet) and "скафандр" (spacesuit)).
      • "Logbook, Part 4" (Бортовой дневник 4): A "Leap to the Future" episode that got replaced by "Illusion of Deceit" (likely for promotional reasons)
      • "Memory Games" (Игры с памятью): Also a "Leap to the Future" episode that is currently the only episode that has its plot unrevealed.
      • "Catch Them If You Can" (Поймай их, если сможешь): An augmented reality episode heavily inspired by then-popular Pokémon GO.
      • "One Plus One" (Один плюс один): Krash and Chiko get stuck in a broken Umflier, but Pin needs a few months to build a new spaceship, so the two have to stay inside the Umflier for some time.
      • "Masterpiece or Reality" (Шедевр или жизнь): Barry improvises a masterpiece on his accordion, but forgets how he did it, so Carlin has to take this improvised melody out of him somehow.
      • "The Outdated" (Устаревший): This episode involves outdated professions, and has one of the adult characters dealing with this issue.
      • "Driving Lessons" (Уроки вождения): Olga learns to pilot the Umflier.
      • "The Power of Mind" (Сила ума): A horror thriller with Chiko as the main character.
