Doraemon and the Curse of the Space Case/Trivia

The film was in production for 5 years. It was originally set for release in the summer of 1993, as a fully animated international Doraemon movie. This version of the film was completed on time for release, but due to a failed test screening, the film had to be rewritten several times before remaking it. Unfortunately, they wern't able to complete the re-animations and the redrawings due to Saban International and Buena Vista grabbing the international rights to the film.

Several different actors, including some German anime dub voice actors, were considered for the role of Space Commander Jr, before Michael E. Rodgers took the role. Eventually, Michael E. Rodgers was the first choice to play Space Commander Jr, after they saw his performances in many theater productions, but Michael declined the role at first, because he thought the movie would be "too childish". Soon, many other actors auditioned and were in talks to getting the role. Due to his successful performance on the 1996 film The Dentist (his first on-screen role), Michael E. Rodgers changed his mind and accepted the role as Space Commander Jr.

Len Carlson and Robert Tinkler were known to star together in many Canadian animated projects, including the cancelled 2000 version of Berry Blast Off 2.

Susan Roman, Michael E. Rodgers, and Robert Tinkler would later on star in the 2000 film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

This film was never shown in the US, Estonia, Bulgaria, Austria, Solvakia, Argentina, Luxembourg and Finland, most likely due to the negative reception and the massive disliking of the film. Although, it did recieve a Bulgarian dub and a Finnish dub.

This film was never dubbed in Estonian, Luxembourgish, Regular German, Solvak, Canadian French, Romanian, and Greek, most likely due to the expense of dubbing. Although, a Swiss German and a Low German dub exists.

Robert Tinkler, Michael E. Rodgers, Matthew Broderick, and Len Carlson all improvised most of thier lines for their characters. The film was originally 100 minutes long for it's Japanese release, but Saban International edited some part of the film and dubbed the animated characters into English, thus shortening the movie to 90 minutes for international release.

Michael E. Rodgers would later play a character named Junior in the 2000 children's fantasy adventure film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

Most international dubs of this film are based on the English dub.

Matthew Broderick and Jack Lemmon both worked together before in the 1993 TV film A Life in the Theatre.
