The sportscaster shown at the end of the archived news clip is a young Sarah Palin.
In this film, the three gray whales are named after characters from The Flintstones (1960). Their names were Bonnet, Crossbeak, and Bone in real life.
In real life, the whales were never tagged, so it is unknown for how long or if they survived after being freed.
Much of the footage for the film was shot in and around Anchorage, Alaska. The ice scenes were filmed at Beluga Point south of Anchorage, and several scenes which in the film took place in California were actually shot on location in the Turnagain neighborhood in west Anchorage: plants native to Southern California were used to dress the houses in those scenes. Real Alaska National Guardsmen were used to play the Guardsmen in the film.
The whole ordeal lasted from October 7th to the 28th.

"Adam Carlson: [Rachel approaches the hole in the ice for the first time; one whale pokes it's head out of the water] Rachel, I'd like you to meet Fred. Rachel Kramer: Hi Fred! Adam Carlson: [second whale pops up] ... and Wilma. Rachel Kramer: Good morning, Wilma! You're beautiful! Adam Carlson: [third whale, the baby, comes up] And this, is Bam Bam! Rachel Kramer: Hi Bam Bam! Wait... wasn't Pebbles Fred and Wilma's kid? Adam Carlson: Yeah, but Pebbles was also a girl."
