Trivia / The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder

• Celebrity Voice Actor: Among the guest stars in the first season of Louder and Prouder include Lizzo, Lil Nas X, Chance the Rapper, Normani, Leslie Odom Jr., Tiffany Haddish, Lena Waithe, Anthony Anderson (returning), Gabrielle Union, Debbie Allen, James Pickens Jr., Courtney B. Vance, Jane Lynch, Marsai Martin, Jaden Smith, Glynn Turman, Lamorne Morris, Brenda Song, Tina Knowles (Beyoncé's mom!), Eva Longoria, Holly Robinson Peete, Al Roker (returning), Bretman Rock, and Olympic gymnasts Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, and Dominique Dawes. Also cast in recurring roles are Keke Palmer as Penny's new activist friend, Billy Porter and Zachary Quinto as said friend's gay fathers.
• Channel Hop: The series is produced at Disney Television Animation (with assistance from Bar Productions) this time around as opposed to Jambalaya Studio. Additionally, Snipple Animation and WildBrain provide animation services.
• Completely Different Title: In Japan, it is called Zenryoku! Puraudofamirī (Full Power! Proud Family)
• Content Warning: When airing on the cable networks Disney Channel and Disney XD, it airs with a "general audience" content warning.
• Creator Backlash: As seen in the comments of this video the animators disliked "The End of Innocence" as much as the fans did, acknowledging that Penny and her friends treated Zoey like garbage.
• Disabled Character, Disabled Actor: Aiden Dodson, the voice actor of BeBe, is autistic like the character.
• Fake Nationality: While all the actors who play the Boulevardez family (and their relatives) are Latinos, none of their ethnic backgrounds are from the same countries. Alisa Reyes is part Dominican, Carlos Mencia is Honduran, Maria Canals-Barrera is of Cuban descent, Eva Longoria is of Mexican descent, and Princess Nokia is of Puerto Rican descent.
• Meaningful Release Date:
  • The first two episodes premiered on the last week of Black History Month 2022.
  • Episodes 3-7 premiered during Women's History Month 2022. This timing earned Penny spots in the thumbnail and banner of Disney+'s Female Leads Collection.
  • Season two dropped on the first day of Black History Month 2023.
• The Merch: Merchandise for the series includes Funko Pops, mini-figures, and a Penny fashion doll.
• The Original Darrin: Cedric the Entertainer returns as Bobby, after Arsenio Hall took over the role for The Proud Family Movie.
• The Other Darrin:
  • BeBe and CeCe are now voiced by Aiden Dodson and Bresha Webb respectively, instead of Tara Strong. Puff has been similarly replaced, instead now being voiced by Carlos Alazraqui, though he had previously played the role in The Proud Family Movie.
  • Michael is now voiced by EJ Johnson, replacing Phil LaMarr.
  • Papi is still voiced by Alvaro Gutierrez, but his laugh is now done by Kevin Michael Richardson.
  • Since the show more or less individualizes the Chang Triplets as opposed to their portrayal as Single Minded Triplets in the original series, they are given separate voice actors, with Miyachi voicing Billy and Haley Tju voicing Debbie. Lydia Look now only voices Julie.
• Queer Character, Queer Actor:
  • Zachary Quinto and Billy Porter, who are both gay in real life, voice Maya and KG's dads.
  • EJ Johnson is gender nonconforming and gay, just like Michael.
• Release Date Change: The show was originally scheduled for 2021, but it was delayed to February 23, 2022 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
• Role Reprise: Every single one of the original voice cast is back for the show, with the exceptions of Tara Strong and Phil LaMarr as noted in The Other Darrin, as well as Orlando Brown (Sticky).
• Same Voice Their Entire Life:
  • Even when aged down to young adult in “When You Wish Upon A Roker”, Oscar is still voiced by Tommy Davidson, despite him being considerably older since the original series. This also stands out because, as noted below, Penny and all her friends were voiced by different actors when they were aged up.
  • In addition to Oscar, Bobby and Ray Ray Sr. still have their usual voice actors in the flashbacks to their younger days in "The Soul Vibrations".
• Sequel Gap: The revival came out in 2022, 17 years after the original series ended.
• Time-Shifted Actor: In "When You Wish Upon a Roker", with the exception of Oscar, Penny and everyone brought into her wish-based reality are voiced by different actors as their college-aged selves. Penny is voiced by Logan Browning, Dijonay is voiced by Bresha Webb, LaCienega is voiced by Karrie Martin, Zoey is voiced by Holly Winter, Michael is voiced by Jeremy O. Harris, Maya is voiced by Lena Waithe, KG is voiced by Daniel "Desus Nice" Baker, Kareem is voiced by Ashton Sanders and Myron (though he’s an alternate version) is voiced by Jaden Smith.
• Two Voices, One Character: Papi is normally voiced by Alvaro Gutierrez, but his Signature Laugh is now done by Kevin Michael Richardson.
