Ama and the Mysterious Crystal/Trivia

Trivia

 * This is Universal Studios' first animated film that was created completely in-house, as Steven Spielberg's Amblimation's films were distributed, but not produced by Universal, and An American Tail (1986) and The Land Before Time (1988) were produced by Don Bluth's American-Irish Sullivan Bluth Studios.
 * This is Universal Animation Studios' first traditionally animated film.
 * This is the first Universal Animation Studios film to be released in September.
 * THX was chosen by Universal Studios Home Video to digitally remaster the film on both VHS & Laserdisc. However, THX digitally remastered the widescreen VHS of the film instead, allowing it to improve the image and sound quality for the widescreen version. Nevertheless, THX digitally remastered both the Signature Collection and DTS Digital Surround Laserdisc releases.
 * It is also the only Universal Animation Studios film to be digitally mastered by THX on VHS (exclusive to the widescreen version) and Laserdisc releases.
 * Coincidentally, this film was released on the same day as the action thriller film The Peacemaker, which happens to be the very first film from DreamWorks.
