Trivia

 * In real life, the 2002 live-action movie and its 2004 sequel (The Secret of the Blue Owls) were really given European Spanish dubs.
 * The following actors from the 2nd dub would later go on to voice characters in the actual Castilian Spanish dub of the Benjamin Blümchen/Benjamin the Elephant cartoon from 2002:
 * Pilar Ferrero as Carla Caramba
 * José Manuel Cortizas as Mr. Mayor
 * Alberto Escobal García as Pickler
 * Because the letter Z (before every vowel) is usually pronounced "th" in European Spanish (same goes for C before E and I), Wizz-wizz is renamed as "Viss-viss".
 * In the first dub, the voice-tone of Bibi Blocksberg is the same as the voice-tone of M4R1A (María) from TPH Club (the block which the first two RTVE channels aired that dub of the show as part of). Coincidentally, both characters are voiced by the same actress in European Spanish.
 * In addition, in that dub, the voice-tone of Carla Caramba is the same as the voice-tone of 6UR4 (Gura) from that block, as both characters are voiced by the same actress in European Spanish.
 * The voice-tone of Bernhard Blocksberg is the same as the voice-tone of M4X 2000 (Max) also from that block, as both characters are voiced by the same actor in European Spanish.
 * Some of the casting is retained for the first Catalan dub.
