Doug's 1st Movie

A movie based on Doug goes as far back as 1993 during the Nickelodeon era, when 20th Century Fox was to have released a movie based on Doug, alongside movies based on Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy, but because the show was canceled and picked up by Disney by the time this film was released, this could technically make this the only Nickelodeon based film released by Disney.

When Doug finds the newspaper article stating that the monster was destroyed, he mentions that it is 'next week's paper' but starts to feel sad because he thinks Herman's dead, despite the fact that he clearly stated it was to be 'next week's paper'.

At the end of the credits, we see the Jumbo Pictures studio logo and in the background we hear the whistle of the Doug theme song.

The Disney Movie Club Exclusive features the TV edit version of the film which contains fade-ins and fade-outs of various parts, and the credit animation is sped-up.
