This is the pilot sold to Nickelodeon in 1990, it was mostly seen at animation conventions and became available to view to the general public in the 10 year anniversary dvd "Decade in Diapers".
This was the only Rugrats episode that Brad Bird animated.
This episode wasn't shown to the public until August 2001 when it was added as a bonus feature on Volume 1 of the Decade of Diapers VHS and on the DVD, which was released as part of Rugrats's 10th Anniversary on Nickelodeon.
Tommy was voiced by someone other than EG Daly
This was the only episode animated in-house at Klasky-Csupo. Many of the animators were directors on The Simpsons (1989), which Klasky-Csupo helped animated in the first season.
