Trivia[]
- Gretel is the first character to be voiced by Meli Povenmire, daughter of Dan Povenmire, the creator of Hamster & Gretel. She was cast after being brought in to do scratch work. When the show was picked up, every actor was recast except for Meli.[2]
- Dan Povenmire confirmed that Gretel has ADHD, making her the first Disney Television Animation protagonist to be confirmed as ADHD,[2] as opposed to others being implied or ambiguous such as Sprig Plantar, Luz Noceda, and Cricket Green from Amphibia, The Owl House, and Big City Greens, respectively.
- Gretel is similar to Phineas Flynn in many ways:
- Both are constantly upbeat, chipper, and optimistic.
- Both are styled more uniquely than the rest of the cast (Phineas has a big head shaped like a triangle; Gretel has a more round head, broader mouth, and bigger eyes that are oval-shaped with visible pupils).
- Both do most of the talking out of the main duo.
- Both don't have their eyebrows show as much.
- However, her gender and family role matches that of Candace Flynn.
- In the original elevator pitch art, Gretel's headband in superhero gear was pink to match her suit, but in the actual show, her headband is blue.
