    • Trivia
      Another cut scene from the domestic release featured Timmy's mom and dad at the their convention with a roomful of scientists all holding oranges in wonder after a successful teleportation exercise. Mom is on the phone trying to contact Timmy while Dad basks in the glow of his success. The funny scene was one of the director's favorites.
    • Quotes

      Gil: A boy your age should be out, oh, splitting atoms, or whatever it is boys do.

    • Alternate versions
      Six scenes were filmed but cut from the North American release of the film. These include scenes in which (1) Timmy's father urges the kids to play outside before leaving, (2) the kids enter the lab, (3) the Rockies make a prolonged visit to Saur City, (4) the Rockies have an extended audience with Mr. Big during which Bear is incinerated, (5) the Rockies make an extended entrance into the Tar Town bar, and (6) Jamie hoodwinks the prison guards in Mr. Big's tower.

    Underrated, and misunderstood.

    This movie isn't about a sophisticated attempt to tunnel into the past

    using a sample memory storage device to extrapolate possible scenarios.

    No. This movie is about KIDS.

    It's a plausible daydream-fantasy for a child interested in dinosaurs

    (Geller, Ross Jr. ?), cartoons (oh, small crowd there) and any kind of

    technobabble (see StarTrek) - it teaches hardship in life and the value

    of friendships, much as those popular (*sickly*) children shows. It

    teaches the American Dream. Give your kids a chance with this one -

    they'll probably love it; just as i did when i was 7 or 8.
