Trivia[]
- Unless one counts The Woody Woodpecker Show, which is an anthology series, this is the first Woody Woodpecker television series.
- Paul Dini has stated that considered the series was stuck in development hell for most of the 90's, as it was first conceived as early as either late 1992 or early 1993. Dini himself never wrote for the show, but being a fan of the character, attempted to join the staff.
- Maxie the Polar Bear is the only character in the series whose his name is not mentioned. However, he is referred to as a "vegetarian polar bear".
- Gabby Gator only appeared in one episode, Corn Fed Up voiced by Jeff Bennett and he looks entirely different than he did in the classic cartoons.
- Some sources (including Don Markstein's Toonopedia) implied that Space Mouse would appear in this show despite being not the case.
- The series aired after the 100th birthday of the late Walter Lantz, who passed away in 1994 when the series was made.
