"We just returned from the World Premiere of "Tugger" in Celebration, FL. This is a great movie for the entire family. A movie for kids that actually teaches something - don't give up on your dreams.

💡 Did You Know?
There are three versions of this movie. The first version contains completely different voices for the characters (whom according to composer Greg Sims were the voices the movie was first animated to), different opening and closing credits (the latter containing footage from the film and footage of Lea Salonga singing the movie's credits song "No Sky Too Big"), as well as some differences in dialogue. The second version is nearly the same but with the voices replaced with the final voices (i.e. Jim Belushi, Carrot Top, Lance LeGault, etc), and certain changes in dialogue. The third 2007 version is almost completely identical to the second version, but the opening credits are changed almost entirely (instead crediting Animated Family Films at the start rather than Genesis Orlando), certain pieces of the narration rewritten and rerecorded, and almost completely changed end credits, with "No Sky Too Big" replaced by Jim Belushi performed "Dreamin' the Dream" and "Tweet Tweet Tweet" moved before the song rather than afterwards. The aforementioned footage during the credits is also deleted in this version. The first version is only known to be owned by those involved in the movie's production, while the second version is available for streaming on TubiTV, and the third version was released on DVD by Anchor Bay in 2009.
