* AllStarCast: Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr, Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt, Creator/LouisGossettJr, Creator/MalcolmMcDowell, Creator/ValKilmer, '''Creator/BurtReynolds''', Creator/ChrisKattan, Creator/JohnVernon, and ''Creator/AnneBancroft''. The film being the final performances for the later two, no less.
* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $40 million. Box office, '''''[[EpicFail $915,840]]'''''. You read that right--less than one million dollars, making it the lowest grossing 3-D animated film of all time. It also had the worst opening week for any film to open in more than 2,000 theatres at the time, until the record was broken by ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'', and was tossed out of theatres immediately afterwards.
* CreatorKiller: Neither of the film's directors has any credit to their name on [=IMDb=] after the utterly disastrous release of ''Delgo''.
* CrossDressingVoices: Young Delgo was voiced by a girl.
* DevelopmentHell: From 1999 to 2008. Even this wasn't enough to draw in the crowds.
* DiedDuringProduction: Anne Bancroft and John Vernon both died in 2005 at age 75 and 72 respectively--three years before the film's release.
* DoingItForTheArt: Director Marc Adler spent years scraping up funds outside the studio system, constantly refining technology and establishing his own studio in UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}}. When it came time for distribution, he chose distributor-for-hire Freestyle Releasing and the film was all set to become an indie success story, with Adler possibly being a new Creator/RalphBakshi. Going by the abysmally low gross, this was certainly not the case.
* DuelingMovies:
** ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', as mentioned on the main page. [[CurbStompBattle This is quite possibly the most lopsided duel in cinematic history]] -- so much so, in fact, that you probably weren't even aware ''Delgo'' was on the other side.
** It also dueled with ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', another CGI sci-fi/fantasy movie. Once again, it lost resoundingly.
* InvisibleAdvertising: Probably the biggest reason for the film's failure, even above the merit, or lack thereof of the thing.
* TroubledProduction: During the film's production, Anne Bancroft had to record in a studio in New York, but due to the poor and cramped quality of the booths, they had to record with the door open. This resulted in her voice recordings having buzzsaw and toilet noises in certain scenes, regardless of the editors trying to clean it up. She recorded 75% of her lines before her death.
