Trivia
- Almost the entire dub uses the SpongeFont SquareType font.
- Some of the title cards use different fonts, like LasVegas.
- In January 2018, it was rumored that a second dub done by Sain Recordiau was in production (dubbing all seasons of the show) and was planned to be broadcasted on Cyw, one of Wales' leading children's networks. In may of that year, the studio confirmed that no such dub was in production.[citation needed]
- Interestingly enough, S4C extended operations from Stwnsh to Cyw one month after the rumor was debunked; the latter currently broadcasts the dub from Tinopolis.
- Through season 5 and some episodes of season 4, the writers are incorrectly listed in the opening credits.
