Trivia

 * Most of the voice cast reprise their roles from the original role, with Skippy Squirrel being the only notable exception, although Nathan Ruegger (since he was now an adult) reprises his role for Skippy's teenage self on his first appearance.
 * To avoid a recast due to child actors' puberty, the show's crew opted to make him now voiced by a female voice actress.
 * Rather than using the theme song version from when they were a segment on the original run, the Pinky and the Brain segments opening uses a shortened version of their spin-off theme song.
 * Although Minerva Mink, Buttons and Mindy, Chicken Boo, Katie Ka-Boom and Mr. Skull return in this series, neither have their own segments like the original, appearing instead as supporting in several shorts.
 * As stated by the show's crew, as much some are fan favorites, it was relatively harder to come up with new and creative plotlines for them without rehashing older ones, while in Minerva's case, they opted to play safe to avoid the possibility of having moral guardians protesting once more to her shorts.
 * The decision to kill off Mr. Director and replacing him with his son was made due to the writers believing that a Jerry Lewis-like character would come out as outdated in the 21st century (especially considering his age at the time) and that the likes of a modern comedian like Will Ferrell could easily attract more interest from the viewers.
