‘The Proud Family Movie’ Trivia: 5 Fast Facts
The Proud Family Movie marked the end of a five-year run for the animated Disney television series on which it was based. Here’s what you need to know.
1. ‘The Proud Family Movie’ Came Second
The movie is based on The Proud Family animated television series that aired on the Disney Channel from 2001 to 2005. It is the fifth Disney Channel Original Movie based on a Disney Channel series, and the second Disney Channel Original Movie to be animated.
2. ‘The Proud Family Movie’ Took Inspiration From Other Well-Known Characters
It won’t take long for viewers to notice that Dr. Carver’s character looks a little like The Penguin from the Tim Burton film Batman Returns. And in case you didn’t already catch it, the character of Fifteen Cent parodies the real-life rapper 50 Cent.
3. You Can Finally See Wizard Kelly’s Face in ‘The Proud Family Movie’
Throughout the five-year run of The Proud Family television series, viewers never see the entire face of the character Wizard Kelly. In The Proud Family Movie, Wizard Kelly’s entire face is revealed toward the end of the film.
4. Disney Released an Extended Ending For ‘The Proud Family Movie’
The Proud Family Movie may end on a high note, but there’s trouble in an extended ending released on DVD. In it, viewers see the Proud family three days after the story ends. Cashew—one of the humanoid nut clones who stowed away with the Prouds to see what being a family was like—is now part of the family back home. Penny has passed her driving test, and she drives through town advertising Oscar’s new Pork-Nut-o-Rade drink. Unfortunately, Puff turns into a monster after consuming the drink and chases the family around the world until they are saved by Suga Mama.
