Notes[]
- The show was originally planned to premiere on the Cartoonito block of Boomerang in Central and Eastern Europe on September 12, 2022; however, due to the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, the show was written-off and pulled from the schedule before premiere, leaving all of the planned dubs to air on the channel unreleased. It was replaced in schedules with Mush-Mush & the Mushables, which had already aired on Boomerang prior, while Unlock the Magic did not.
- Dubs for the specials were produced in November 2023, and began airing on Cartoonito in Central and Eastern Europe in July 2024.
- Despite the fact that it was initially presumed that the Warner dubs of the series will remain permanently shelved, the Polish dub of the series was reused for broadcasts on MiniMini+; it is currently unknown if the other dubs of the series will be similarly saved.
