Trivia

 * Brady Bear is voiced by animator, voice actor and cartoonist Kyle A. Carrozza who created MooBeard the Cow Pirate for Nicktoons Network's Random! Cartoons and is currently creating, producing and voice acting his own series, Mighty Magiswords on Cartoon Network. Kyle did a Goofy impression when voicing Brady. After passing on a full-time job at Startoons in Homewood, IL due to accepting a full tuition scholarship at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, the college sent his portfolio to a now-defunct small computer software studio entitled Funnybone Interactive and was immediately hired after graduating. He worked on pitches never released, but worked on JumpStart as a concept artist, animator and voice over actor. He was laid off of FunnyBone in 2001 as the company decided to go completely 3D and no longer needed the services of the 2D artists.
