Notes[edit]

  1. ^ This was later revealed to be Jane Lynch.[6]
  2. ^ This is specifically referring to the Arthur TV series. Dinsmore has subsequently voiced Binky Barnes in later Arthur-related content.
  3. ^ This is true, since the final four seasons were recorded together, the voice work for this season would have coincided with the voice work for Season 23, 24, and 25 (the final season).
