 ** [[Nancy Cartwright]] was the original choice for the female characters on the show, she dropped out because of the vulgarity.
 ** Same thing with Barry White, who was supposed to be the original voice of Chef, but declined because the show went against his Christian values.
-* ''[[Storm Hawks]]'': In the original concepts for this show, the Storm Hawks are a bunch of prison kids who escape into the Wastelands, where they meet Oriole(Piper). In addition to the war against Cyclonia, the plot involves their quest for the Helix, an artifact holding the world together. The Helix is broken up into numerous crystal fragments around the world and [[Gotta Catch Em All|it's the Storm Hawks' job to find them]] with help from the Guardian of the Helix, the White Hawk. (Who, incidentally, is the one who leads <s> Piper</s> Oriole to the others in the first place.) Instead of Master Cyclonis, we have Master Anarchis ([[Epileptic Trees|Cyclonis's mother?]]), a fashionista who was formerly exiled to the Terra of Thorns by her brother, Heron, the rightful king of Cyclonia. Piper is a well-traveled, crossbow-wielding adventurer. Finn is younger and smaller ([[Small Girl, Big Gun|but still the main turrets guy]]), has a knack for telling [[Con Man|tall tales]], and fights with energy blades in hand-to-hand combat. Junko has a temper, although he tries to control it. Stork is an expert metal-smith and a loyal friend who is largely confined to the Condor due to a leg injury. Also, there are living storms that have their own names and personalities. Some of this can be found [http://disneyxd.disney.in/shows/storm_hawks/index.html here], although other things like the Helix plot are no longer up.

 * Season 4 of ''[[ReBoot]]'' was originally going to comprise of 3 TV movies, followed by a musical episode. Unfortunately, only the first two movies were actually produced, resulting in a nasty [[Cliff Hanger|cliffhanger]].
 * A scraggly young man once walked into the [[John Kricfalusi|Spumco]] offices stating his intention to write a song for ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''; that song was then promptly tossed in the trash. That young man was [[Kurt Cobain]].

 ** Storyboard sketches show that originally [[My Little Pony G 3|G3.5]] looked [http://kathycarrtoons.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-post_14.html more like] G3 except the characters were smaller; even their manes were the same. Eventually though they decided to change the proportions and gave everyone unique manes.

-*** The whole show got started because [[Lauren Faust]] was pitching to Hasbro a cartoon based on her independent doll-line ''[[Milky Way and The Galaxy Girls]]''.

 *** Ever notice why a lot of the gang don't act like, and/or resemble, their previous incarnations? That's because several of them weren't meant to be those horses. Due to legal issues, [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101225153735/mlp/images/c/c2/History-concept.jpg a few of them] had to have their designs and names changed.

 *** One of the background characters (Mr. Greenhooves, an old stallion) was originally meant to have a corncob pipe to smoke real tobacco. The corncob pipe was part of a gag, as his pipe would overheat and randomly shoot popcorn while he minded his own business, but of course, the idea wasn't approved and the pipe was replaced with a hay straw.
