Trivia[]
- According to three official videos from the YouTube Talking Tom (The Making of Talking Tom Shorts, The Making of Talking Tom Shorts 2 and The Making of Talking Tom Shorts 3), which claim to be behind the scenes videos, the in-world excuse for the show is that it is simply something that Tom and his friends were hired to work in and it is not its own separate reality.
- This show often uses slapstick comedy.
- This show is dialogue free.
- The same goes for Talking Tom and Friends Minis and Talking Tom Heroes.
- This is the longest running Talking Tom & Friends show, starting from 13 March 2014 to present day.
