Here's where you can share some "did you notice?" moments in ChalkZone- whether they're animation errors, continuity nods, or other little tidbits you notice in the background or whatever, put them here!
* In "Secret Passages", Rudy's bedroom is on the first floor of his house. In all other episodes, it's on the second. His house also looks a little different; the colors are tan with a red roof instead of all brown and there's no garage. There also aren't any other house next to it. Just a case of "early installment weirdness"- the episode was initially a short on Oh Yeah! Cartoons in 1999, and this was the very first time Rudy's house was ever shown.
* In "Rudy's Story", Rudy's comic has "'99" in the corner of the cover. "Rudy's First Adventure/Rudy's Story" originally premiered on December 31, 1999, hence why it's dated that year. The rest of season one was to premiere in September/October 2000, but was delayed to 2002 for unknown reasons as the episodes were all finished and ready to air (Pinky and the Brain aired instead on Nick to fill the empty slot).
* In "Gift Adrift", Penny's bedroom walls are a dark salmon color. For the rest of the series, they're lilac. In both cases, her carpet was always a darker shade of the color of her walls.
* In a similar case, Rudy's bedroom walls were yellow when his room first appeared in "Secret Passages". In season one, his walls became light green. Then in season two, they became yellow-green.
* Look closely: In "Water, Water Everywhere", there's a heart drawn in the quarry with "Millie + Joe" written inside. Awww!
* In most of Sunwoo Entertainment's episodes of the show, the colors of Rudy's first shirt often get reversed in some scenes.
* In "Rudy's Date" and "Snap Out Of Water", there are a few shots of Penny with purple earrings, a slightly darker green skirt with blue checks instead of red, and with red socks and yellow shoes. Because this error happened often (and it was always with the same colors), it could be possible that the coloring came from an earlier design for her.
* If you look closely in Rudy's room, he seems to have an empty fishtank. There are no fish ever shown in the tank, nor are any mention of fish brought up. It's possible that he had fish when he was younger and they died, but he never got rid of the tank.
* Penny's hair is slightly longer starting in season two than it was in season one.
* All three of the trio underwent vocal evolution, some more than others. Snap went through it the least; his accent just got thicker as the show went on. Penny started off with a bit of a lisp, and also sounded a bit quieter when she first appeared in "Rudy's Date". After a few more OY!C shorts, she lost it (Penny was notably the first character Hynden Walch ever voiced). Rudy went through it the most. In the first two shorts (where he was eight), his voice is a lot higher and he sounded a lot more like Tommy Pickles. When he was aged up for season two of OY!C, his voice got a little lower than it was in the first two shorts, but he still sounded a little babyish. In the first few episodes of season one, his voice was higher than it was for the rest of the series, but he sounded less like Tommy than he did in the original shorts. By the end of the first season, his voice got lower and stayed that way for the rest of the show. The funny part is just when Rudy stopped sounding like Tommy, All Grown Up! came out and E.G. Daily started using the Rudy voice for eleven-year-old Tommy!
* When Guy Moon composed the series (he composed the show from the original shorts up to "Let's Twister Again/Legend of the Golden Worms/Beanie Boys to Men/Good to Go", and then Geoff Levin replaced him- the reasons are unknown, but I think it was because he left CZ to do the music for Danny Phantom while still doing The Fairly OddParents- he continued to work on the ending songs for the remainder of the season), a number of background music cues from FOP would be used in a few CZ episodes.
- The BGM in "Rudy's Story" that played as the other students were coming in from recess (later used in "Gift Adrift") was originally used in the FOP short "The Temp!", which originally aired on OY!C in 1999.
- The BGM in "Gift Adrift" that played when Millie was showing Rudy the bow/card that she made for Joe's present was originally used in the short "The Zappys!" (which coincidentally, premiered the same day CZ initially premiered in 1999)
- The BGM playing in the kitchen of the future in "Future Zone" originally played in the original 1998 short "The Fairly OddParents!"...and was the first BGM cue in the short!
- The BGM in "Waste Mountain" that played as Rudy was hiding the garbage in CZ played in one of the early FOP episodes (it MAY have been in "The Big Problem!"; I'll have to check again)
- The "Get Ready For This" sound-alike that played in "Lost in Chalk" originally played in the episode "Totally Spaced Out"
- The "Pop Goes the Weasel" arrangement that played in the first scene at the preschool in "Let's Twister Again" originally played in the first FOP TV movie Abra-Catstrophe! (as music from Mr. Crocker's "unsuspecting van" while disguised as an ice cream truck)
