Trivia
In the movie, Harry and Davy kidnap the "baby boy" of Hans Hooft (Tom Cameron mentions it is a boy at 1:03:00). Ironically, the baby boy is portrayed by a girl. This is the exact reverse of the 1953 film where the infant daughter who was kidnapped was portrayed by a boy.

Goofs
(at around 1h 8 mins) After the search has been called off due to a storm, the baby is lying on the floor of the cave mostly wrapped in a dark blanket with its right arm and shoulder and some of its left shoulder exposed and with a lit lantern hanging behind it on the wall of the cave. When the boys enter the cave with Granddaddy, the baby is completely wrapped in a lighter colored blanket, except for its face, and the lantern has extinguished and is standing at the baby's feet.

Quotes
Davy: Granddaddy, please don't eat it, it isn't fitting.

Alternate versions
Distributor Feature Films for Families released an edited version on DVD in 2009 with an 87 minute 25 second runtime (1:27:25 on DVD players) even though its DVD case lists the runtime as "about 94 min".
