Trivia[]

It was not released in other countries for unknown reasons.

Plover and the other Dune Patrol birds (from the Nature Cat episode Dune Patrol) appear in this film. However, unlike the others, they just make a short cameo and do not have any speaking roles.
Since it serves as a live action/animated movie, the real life actor who did the voice of Nature Cat (Taran Killam) is shown onscreen.

In one scene, Daisy sees the Hollywood sign.

However, since Taran's wife is the voice actor of Nature Dog (Cobie Smulders), Nature Dog mentions her voice actor, although she doesn't appear in the real life sequence in this movie.
