Filming

The footage of Tyranor was reused from the classic Space Ghost episode "Creature King." Except, he technically wasn't a full-fledged villain as the kids make him out to be in this episode, he was actually a pet of Creature King's called Moon Ape.

It was copyrighted in 1998.

Music

The music was composed by Sonny Sharrock and Man...or Astro-Man? The musicians were Sharrock, Lance Carter, Eddie Horst, Alfrieda Gerald, and Man...or Astro-Man?
