Princess Tutu (anime)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Abridged Series: Princess Tutu Abridged.
  • Anime First
  • DVD Commentary: Included in the North American and Australian releases of the show. Some are of the voice actors (and are usually goofy), but others include the staff that wrote the dub explaining some of the references in the show and choices they made during translation. One even explains how the packaging was designed!
  • Fandom-Specific Plot: If you write Princess Tutu fanfic, there's a good chance you've written a story in which Fakir writes a story to turn Duck back into a girl.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Femio's character bears quite a lot in common with the character of Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High. So when you figure out that Vic Mignogna played both characters, are you really that surprised?
  • Hilarious Outtakes: The first two volumes of the anime in the US feature an extra of the dub actors cracking jokes and flubbing their lines.
  • Public Domain Soundtrack: Almost all of the show's songs are classical ballet pieces.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Neko-sensei/Mr. Cat's mentor Nyajinsky/Meowjinsky is a reference to the performer Nijinsky
    • The series is full of other ballet-related references.
  • WAFF: Due to the Bittersweet Ending and there being even more female fanfic writers in this fandom than normal, WAFFy fanfics pop up quite often, particularly ones where Fakir either turns Duck back into a girl, or turns himself into a duck.
