Trivia

The film was intended for theatrical release. It tested poorly with older test audiences, so the studio released it straight-to-video in the US, where it could make more money in the lucrative kids' video market. Since it was completed on its original theatrical studio budget, it became the most expensive straight-to-video film ever at the time of its release. It was shown theatrically in many countries, including Germany, Spain, France, Japan, Portugal, the UK, and South Africa. See more
