* BoxOfficeBomb: The film grossed $97,822,171 domestically and $169,333,034 worldwide though Disney never disclosed the budget information. Estimates place it between [[http://www.boxofficeflops.com/yearly-breakdowns/2007-2/meet-the-robinsons/ $150]]-[[http://smokefreemovies.ucsf.edu/movie/49298 $195 million]] which includes marketing costs and re-animating portions that were discarded. Being released the same day as the more widely beloved ''Film/BladesOfGlory'' might have contributed to that.

* VindicatedByCable: Despite good reviews and being the [[WinBackTheCrowd start of the Disney Revival]], the film underperformed at the box office. It nevertheless ended up doing much better on home video, moving 4 million copies by the end of the year.

Added DiffLines:

** A cancelled DVD short "Pet Project" would have revealed Bowler Hat Guy raised Tiny from an egg he accidentally grabbed from the Cretaceous. The baby dinosaur was given a growth formula to bring it to an adult size, but remained a puppy mentally. While planned as a BottleEpisode outside the new prehistoric set, it was rejected because of suits not wanting to fully commit to DVD shorts in general.
