Producer/Co-director Don Bluth so hated the final results of this movie after production was wrapped up that he and his partner, co-director Gary Goldman, demanded to be uncredited. As a result, a credit of "A Don Bluth Ireland Limited Production" has been placed where the directors' credits should've been.
Was originally meant to be released in the summer of 1994, but was pushed to April of 1995, due to production errors, as well as to avoid heavy competition from movies released during the summer of 1994, such as the U.S. release of The Princess and the Goblin (1991), The Lion King (1994), and The Mask (1994).
Part of the reason for the movie's production dilemma can be blamed on the American distributor, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. When the film was nearing completion, they began requesting some changes to be done to the movie, including but not limited to removing some characters, trimming down and or completely removing some scenes, re-recording the voices and redoing some bits of animation that had to be done quickly because they were starting to reach the deadline. This was also the reason why some of the coloring work was outsourced to Hungarian animation studios. Some scenes that were deleted during the dilemma included a slightly different prologue where and older Hubie and Marina are seen admiring the pebble, an additional scene of Drake hounding Marina into marrying him and a scene where Rocko fights off Drake's skua henchmen.
The last film produced at Don Bluth's animation studio in Dublin, Ireland. The studio was acquired by News Corporation, then-parent company of 20th Century Fox, which relocated Bluth and a number of his crew to Phoenix, Arizona to work for Fox Animation Studios, and the Dublin studio subsequently shuttered.
Jim Belushi's first time voice acting in a theatrical movie. He went on to voice Kirk the Woodsman in Hoodwinked (2005), Benny the Squirrel in The Wild (2006), and The Cowardly Lion in Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2013).
"Rocko: Hey, Hubie, you forgot your blasted pebble! Hubie: My Pebble? My Pebble! Rocko, you found it! Rocko: Don't just stand there, Romeo. Give the girl the pebble. Hubie: Do you like it? Marina: I love it. Rocko: She'd better. Hubie: Good. Marina: But don't you know? It's not the pebble, it's the penguin. I love you even more."
"Rocko: You're crazy, you're insane; you're amazing."
