Did you know

• The backgrounds in the movie are actually superimposed photos of exotic tropical locations such as Canaima National Park in Venezuela, while some others are from Tahiti and Hawaii.

• The plot hole pointed out by some as to why the herd went to have their babies in the Nesting Grounds, but didn't remain there (hence the desert exodus) was explained in the "Essential Guide" of this movie: the land in the Nesting Grounds becomes too cold and infertile in the winter, driving the herd to leave it and return when they begin to breed.

• In order to separate this from the similar movie The Land Before Time (1988), this movie was intended not to have any dialogue at all, but Michael Eisner, head of Disney, insisted they include it.
