In July 2008 the Associated Musicians of Greater New York, Local 802 AFM filed an unfair labor charge against Little Airplane Productions, alleging the production company illegally replaced musicians working on the preschool series The Wonder Pets!.[5] Both parties reached a mutually satisfactory agreement on July 30th, 2008.[6][7]
This company also does business under the name Hootenanny Productions.[8]
