Trivia

The animators went to an owl sanctuary to learn how to properly depict owls in flight and the ruffling of their feathers, as well as owl behavior and their dietary needs. See more »

Goofs

Errors in geography: When Soren and Kludd fall out of the nest, they are attacked by a Tasmanian devil, which places them on the island of Tasmania. However, later, Digger tells them they'll get eaten by Dingoes. Dingoes never made it to Tasmania. So unless they have flown to mainland Australia, this is unlikely. See more »

Quotes

Metalbeak: Well, the legendary Lyze of Kiel. Once again, it's come down to just you and me. At last, I can take my revenge for this.
[Indicates helmet]
Ezylryb: Hmm. You should thank me. It appears to be an improvement.
