Brenda Blue's Bio from the PBS Kids Website
Brenda Blue is Tarrytown Airport's ace mechanic. She carefully watches over all of the airplanes of E.Z. Airlines, and there is rarely a problem, mechanical or otherwise, that is too big for her to solve. She's as energetic and creative as the best preschool teacher might be, and Jay Jay and the other airplanes turn to her for information and advice about a wide range of topics. Brenda loves her work and knows that she is handling a very special fleet of planes, and therefore she has a personal relationship with each and every one of them.
Instrumental Signifier
In the model series, the music that accompanies Brenda's appearance is played by the xylophone. But in the main series, the music that accompanies Brenda's appearance is played by the double bass.
Trivia
- There are differences to the Live Action Brenda and the Model Brenda:
- The Live Action Brenda is more like a major character in the CGI revival and makes more appearances in the show; she owns the airfield instead of E.Z. O'Malley.
- The Model Brenda is more a minor character being seen in 7 episodes; in 4 episodes, she has speaking roles while in the others she is mostly standing around.
- She does not use the airport's control tower but communicates with the planes by a portable two-way radio from the ground.
- It's a possibility that Brenda Blue took over E.Z. Airlines in the live-action series and it's also a possibility that E.Z. O'Malley retired.
- Vanessa Stacey also portrayed Brenda in the Welsh dub, as Wales is part of the United Kingdom.
Appearances
- Brenda mostly wears a red cap for episodes 1 and 3, as well as in several episodes in 2001.
- She sometimes wears a blue cap in episodes 2, 3, 4 and 24.
- In the UK version, she is plus-sized and wears a red bandana.
