Trivia[]
- Starting with "Mooooving Day" (Día de Muuuudanzas), the titles of each episode of the series are not translated, and the texts in English are not subtitled, unlike what Disney does with the seasons broadcast on its channels.
- It should be noted that the episode "Crash Nebula", the last to be distributed outside the US by Nelvana and broadcast on Disney channels, had the series title in English, as did the third part of Channel Chasers.
- "That Old Black Magic" was the last episode ever aired on Disney XD.
- "Poltergeeks" was the last episode ever aired on Nicktoons.
- A voice-over (played by Jorge Luis Garcia) will usually read out any text that is on screen.
- Originally, Sergio Sáez was going to voice Timmy, but after telling the dubbing director at the time (Gladys Yañez) that he was going to lose his voice trying to dub Timmy, he ended up voicing Cosmo[6].
- Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Turner's first voice actors (Gladys Yañez and John Acosta) were staff technicians. Gladys had considered other actors for Timmy's parents, but since they never arrived, she chose herself and John to voice them.
- Obviously, since John and Gladys were still part of the technical staff, for season 4, their superiors felt they couldn't do two jobs at once, so Gladys ended up choosing Eduardo Wasveiler and María Elena Heredia as Timmy's parents's new voice actors.
- By season 5, Heredia quit the dubbing studio, which meant Gladys ended up regaining her role as Mrs. Turner and Chester.[7]
- In an 2020 interview, Sergio Sáez (Cosmo's VA) said he had to re-record his take on Cosmo singing La Cucaracha many times cause he couldn't stop laughing at it.[6]
- Because only the characters' dialogues were dubbed in the theme song, when Cosmo and Wanda changed voice actors (from Sergio Sáez and Anna Silvetti, to Orlando Noguera and Jackeline Junguito), that also meant redubbing their dialogues. The funny thing here is that Orlando didn't redub Cosmo's dialogue until "Wishology: The Total Ending" (despite dubbing Cosmo throughout season 6), and Jackeline didn't redub Wanda's until "The Fairly Beginning" (despite dubbing her in episodes prior to this one).
- Starting with season 7, Jorge Luis Garcia (the voice-over guy) began saying the series title ("Los Padrinos Mágicos!") at the end of the intro.
- The only time the theme song got fully dubbed was in Abra-Catastrophe, during the "The Fairly OddPrimates" parody, that got translated as "Padrinos Simios que Tienen Magia" (Ape Godparents that Have Magic).[8]
- Throughout the series' dub, almost every character had at least two voice actors. The only ones who always kept the same actor were Timmy, Crocker, Anti-Wanda, Foop, Vicky, Norm, Nana Boom Boom, Sparky, Chloe's parents, Kevin Crocker, and the Easter Bunny.
- In 'Vicky Loses Her Icky', Mrs. Turner got dubbed by her original voice actress, Gladys Yañez, for only one phrase ["Oh, ya es el día del padre?"]. Before and after that dialogue, she was dubbed by María Elena Heredia.[9]
- In 'The Big Superhero Wish!', the chorus singing the episode title was deleted, leaving only the instrumental, and the voiceover reading the translated title ["Los Padrinos Mágicos en: El Deseo de Un Superhéroe"].[10]
- There are two versions of the dubbing of the episode 'Kung Timmy': The only difference between the two versions is a line of dialogue spoken by Mr. Turner; in the TV version, he says "Qué bueno que caí sobre ésta mamá tan suavecita!', while in the HD version, available in the Treehouse Direct Español YouTube channel, he says "Qué bueno que caí sobre ésta suave madre!". The reason for the change in adaptation in that dialogue is unknown.
- In 'The Big Problem!', Vicky originally says "Well, it's 9:04 on the east coast". In this dub, she says "Pues en Madrid son las 9:00." (Well, in Madrid (Spain's capital city) it's 9:00 o'clock".
- In 'Power Mad!', Cosmo sings 'The Wheels on the Bus' and 'Bingo'. In this dub, he sings 'Un elefante se balancea sobre la tela de una araña' (An elephant balances on a spider web), and 'Mambrú se fue a la guerra' (Mambru went to war).
- In 'Timvisible', both the wrong translation of 'goverment' in Spanish (originally translated as 'govermente', fixed into 'gobierno'), and Timmy calling Cosmo and Wanda's costumes as Spanians (when they were actually dressed up as Mexicans) got fixed in this dubbing.
- In 'The Secret Origins of Denzel Crocker', Jorgen refers to his 'funky' version as 'mi versión travoliana' ('Travoliana' being a term that doesn't exist in Spanish)
- In 'Most Wanted Wish', a line of dialogue from Jorgen was left silent in this dub.
- Dash Baxter appears as a cameo in 'Fly Boy', but due to Danny Phantom being dubbed in Venezuela, and Fairly OddParents being dubbed in Miami, U.S.A., he didn't recover his original Spanish VA (Angel Lugo), and got replaced by Eduardo Wasveiler.
- Mexico's Canal 5 was the only Latin American TV channel to air both the Nelvana and Nickelodeon episodes.

Esta posibilidad no había sido contemplada previamente por Gladys, ya que ellos habían sido contratados por el estudio como parte del staff técnico y no actoral. Igualmente, el casting fue aprobado por el cliente y no se aceptaron cambios, por lo que Gladys y John pasaron a integrar el elenco de la serie en forma definitiva. Sin embargo, para la temporada 4, ambos continuaban siendo miembros del staff técnico de The Kitchen y sus jefes consideraron que no podían seguir trabajando como actores de doblaje y a la vez ocupar cargos técnicos y/o administrativos; entonces, Gladys eligió a María Elena Heredia y Eduardo Wasveiler como reemplazos y junto a John abandonaron sus personajes. Gladys luego dejaría de trabajar en el estudio, y más tarde retomaría sus personajes en la serie luego de que Heredia regresara a Venezuela por compromisos con una de las cadenas de televisión de Cisneros Media (dueños del estudio The Kitchen)." - Doblaje Wiki's page on 'Los Padrinos Mágicos' [2]
