- Yoyo, Bibou and Gluglu would have appeared as the main characters of the show.
- The characters looked slightly different in the pilot. They acted more childish and their pajamas are made of pelouche (plush) or velvet.
- The animation would have looked more faithful to the picture books' art style and atmosphere.
- The television counterpart of Tarabiscoville would have been similar to its picture book incarnation.
- The show was retooled to expand its premise by including contemporary superhero culture while staying faithful with the book series after receiving several responses from parents wanting the series to have "superheroes custom-made for preschoolers".
- As of that, the show would incorporate more superhero comic-based material based on the content created by comic book companies such as:
- The producers would rework the main characters' costumes to fit with contemporary culture of superheroes such as having more gadgetry, additional powers, transformation devices and other features. In addition, their personalities are changed to be less childish and have an attitude and motive that is fitting with comic book superheroes.
- The animation style based on the books' art style is redone to feel like it is taking place inside a comic book.
- Despite the producers having no current plans to release the pilot to the public, they allowed selected parents and children to watch the show's pilot during development of the television series.
- However on 14th August 2021, the director of the show confirmed in a meeting session with fans that TeamTO and FrogBox still have the pilot and that he is preparing to release it eventually.
- As of May 5, 2022, the pilot has been released on the official PJ Masks Facebook account, PJ Masks Save the Day.
- According to one screenshot of the pilot, the production code for the episode is 101. It shares the production code with the first official episode, "Blame it on the Train, Owlette."
- In addition, the video file name in the screenshot states that it was produced on 29th July 2013.
- The script for the pilot episode was written by Davey Moore.
- According to Christian De Vita, he stated that the pilot is only 2 minutes long and most of it is a colour storyboard. Only one minutes of the pilot is animated, as the animators found that it was expensive to produce the pilot completely.
- In the pilot, Luna Girl's name was originally Moon Girl.
