Crew credits

 * Note: In the international releases, most of the first names in the staff roll are initials, while only their surnames and nicknames are listed in these releases. In the Japanese version, they were referred to by their full names, which were all changed in the other releases.


 * Programmers: Misako Kawamura, Ki-Ichi Saito (Keiichi Saito)
 * Graphic designers: T. Kodama (Toshihiko Kodama), M. Saito (Shin Saitoh), T. Kawaishi (Tohru Kaaishi), I. Matono (George Matono), Nisiyaman (Michael Nishiyama)
 * Planner: Nishiyaman (Michael Nishiyama)
 * Sound composers: Y. Yamada (Yasuo Yamada), N. Yagishita (Naoto Yagishita)
 * Coordinators: H. Kajita (Hideki Kajita), H. Hiraiwa (Hiro Hiraiwa)

Behind the scenes

 * Dino's mouth moved after being saved by Fred, giving the sense that he was yapping, although no sound is heard.
 * In the international releases, special thanks are given to T. Horimoto, K. Bando, Y. Kanno, K. Ito, Y. Koga, Onijust, Y. Nakanishi, S. Yasuda, L. Stalmah, T. Kato, Y. Suzuki, S. Nakata, N. Kuroki, N. Nakaizawa in the credits. The Japanese version lacks these credits.

Errors

 * Wilma and Betty know about Gazoo's existence, instead of just Fred, Barney, the babies, and the pets.
 * Since George supposedly lives in 2062, which is in the 21st century, Doctor Butler claiming he comes from the 30th century is grossly inaccurate. However, the year George lives in has never been addressed on-screen in an episode or movie before.

Everlasting influence

 * The video game achieved meme status in 2017, when streamer Vargskeletor Joel played a Mario-themed bootleg called 7 Grand Dad.
