  • Episode director Christine Liu was a storyboard artist for an episode of Marvel's Spider-Man.
• One of the guest stars is Michael Cimino. Coincidentally, he also voices Kevin in Hamster & Gretel, another superhero-themed Disney TVA that airs concurrently with Moon Girl.
• Maya Hawke is among the series' guest stars. Her father, Ethan Hawke, portrayed Arthur Harrow In Moon Knight.
• Parker Posey and Xolo Maridueña appeared in DC Comics related productions. Posey played Kitty Kowalski in Superman Returns, and Maridueña played Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle in the superhero film of the same name.
• While this is the first co-production between Disney TVA and Marvel, this isn't the first collaboration between both; Marvel Comics previously published comics based on series from The Disney Afternoon, such as Aladdin and Gargoyles.
• This is the first Disney series in which Diamond White plays the protagonist.
• This is the second show (after some episodes of What If...?) to be animated by the Belgian-owned Australian production company Flying Bark Productions.

• This is the third Disney Channel animated series that originally premiered on a Friday, but then would later premiere future episodes on Saturdays, following The Ghost and Molly McGee and Hamster & Gretel.
• The series uses several design assets from the cancelled Cars spin-off Metro, which series developer Steve Loter and composer Raphael Saadiq were involved with.
• This, Hamster & Gretel and Hailey’s On It are the last DTVA animated shows to feature serialized elements and story arcs, due to the announcement on October 2021 that Disney Television Animation would be moving story-driven shows away from Disney Channel (future story-driven shows will be on Disney+ instead) and move onto more episodic-musical shows.
  • This is overall the 10th series by DTVA to be serialized/story-driven.
    • Following Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, DuckTales (2017), Big Hero 6: The Series, Amphibia, The Owl House, and Hamster & Gretel.
• Following the episode "Today, I Am a Woman", Steve Loter was asked if the series is canon with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he responded with a zipped lip emoji.^[2] He later admitted that while the series is not directly tied to the MCU, it will continue to borrow heavy elements.^[3]
• The overall look of the show was inspired by pop art and graffiti, specifically those inspired by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring.^[4]
• Steve Loter hinted that the series might crossover, not just with other Marvel characters, but other Disney Television animation shows as well.^[3]
• This is the first animated Marvel show since Hit-Monkey to not receive LEGO sets.
• Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse served as a major inspiration for Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur — not just when it comes to telling stories about young Black superheroes, but also giving homage to the look and feel of comic books in the adaptation.
• Steve Loter intends to have the show run for three seasons, though if the opportunity for a season four comes along, he would like to do it.^[5]
