Home video release history

Goofs

  • Ducky's mother said there were no other spike-tails in the Great Valley but other stegosaurs are seen in the Great Valley in the past sequels.
  • After Spike fell through the deep ice, Ducky incorrectly states that he cannot swim, and after calling for Ducky's mother, he quickly sinks. Spike can be seen swimming throughout most of the series, even after this sequel was released.

Trivia

An Anonymous Sharptooth from the begining of The Big Freeze.
  • This was the fourth time Spike has ever spoken; his cry of "Mama!" as he falls into the river and when Tippy's mother asks if he smells something and he says "Mm-hm".
  • This was the first time that the closed captions performer is the WGBH Media Access Group. This group was in the VHS version, but the DVD version used the same SDH captions as the previous sequels; this film was released before the first five sequels were released on DVD.
  • The first in the series to use shading digitally mapped onto the characters. The backgrounds are also more detailed than the previous sequels.
  • This is one of the only films in which the animators follow the classic sharptooth design from the original movie.
  • Etsuko Kozakura, the Japanese voice of Littlefoot, also voices Piplup on the original Japanese version of Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.
