The VHS releases Barney's Adventure Bus, Barney's Good Day, Good Night, and Barney in Outer Space have trailers for the film. The only way to get the original widescreen / theatrical print on video is on the laser disc version.

At the time of development, around the mid-nineties, all the major film studios wanted to do a Barney feature, with the production companies pitching to the owners of Barney. One of the studios even assembled the executives together to sing " I Love You" to Sheryl Leach when she arrived to the respective studio. Co-creator of South Park, Trey Parker, was offered a million and a half dollars to direct the film, after the crew saw he could do funny things with kids since he did The Spirit of Christmas. Parker declined the offer. [3]
