Trivia

 * Even though Shoney and Elisha does go on land in this show, real Axolotls has almost never emerged from the water.
 * And somehow, Shoney likes chocolate since he was a young Axolotl, despite the fact that in real life, chocolate is poisonous to animals, including Axolotls.
 * And real Axolotls don't have orange eyes unlike Shoney.
 * It is the first Warner Bros. Animation show for Netflix, soon to be followed by Green Eggs and Ham. The series would later have a WB Kids premeire 3 months later.
 * Delilah Paint-inda is based off Ernesto de la Cruz from the 2017 Disney-Pixar film Coco, because both of them were murderous frauds who stole their friends' songs and claimed it as their own and both only cared about their fame. However, one difference is that Ernesto lost his fame dramatically (while also comedically) while Delilah lost her fame comedically on a later episode.
 * As a result, fans started shipping Delilah Paint-inda with Ernesto de la Cruz, which made most of the fans of both of those media outraged. Both Disney and Warner Bros., upon finding out that shipping, strongly denied that shipping.
 * Despite being a innocent family-friendly animated series, this show does contain mild adult humor, mild thematic material in some scenes in some episodes and mildly intense dark scenes.
 * It is the fifth Ruegger-created Warner Bros. animated series (and the third one since Road Rovers and Histeria!) to not have Amblin Television's involvment.
 * Like Freakazoid!, Road Rovers and Histeria!, the series isn't part of the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies franchise.
 * The art style is based off Collin Brady's style.
 * Since the minotaurs, yetis and griffins appear, there were rumors that some other mythical creatures could appear in the series other than the Face Paints, Famboo and Wangoes.
 * It is the final Warner Bros. Animation project to premiere before the AT&T acquisition.
 * Despite being rated TV-Y7-FV, there are mentions of "God" and there are some disgusting moments in this series.
