After Sony Pictures dumped this movie after its 1997 U.S. theatrical release, actor, writer, and director Terry Jones struggled trying to get this movie published, but no Hollywood distributor wanted to take it. That was until in 1998, Walt Disney Home Video bought the American rights to this movie, added in a few sound effects, and even changed the title after the name of the rides at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" (though the Walt Disney World Version of the ride closed that same year). It was released onto VHS in 1999 and onto DVD in 2004.
The filmmakers filmed this movie completely at sunset, but the nighttime scenes were digitally color corrected.
Terry Gilliam had originally been offered the voice role of The River, but turned it down due to being committed to 12 Monkeys (1995).
All of John Cleese's scenes had to be shot in one day, due to him being tied to other work commitments.
During this movie's U.S. release in the fall of 1997, Columbia Pictures, the original theatrical distributor of this movie, put this at a porno theater in Times Square, New York City, according to Terry Jones, when he was filming a documentary over there. He was told this by telephone and rushed to Times Square, only to find this out.

The Judge: [to the jury] Is he a rabbit? Chief Weasel: [whispers] Say I'm a rabbit. [Rabbits all nod, say "Rabbit" and stroke their long ears] Rat: That weasel is never a wabbit!"
"The Judge: Would the prosecution like add something? The Prosecution Counsel: No, Your Honour. But I would like to wag my finger at the accused a few times. The Judge: Go ahead. [Prosecution walks over importantly and tut-tuts Toad]"
