  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: While the Saturday Morning series was briefly available on DVD and now is on some streaming services, The Greatest Adventure of All made-for-TV film has never become available to date except from bootlegs on discs and YouTube (taken from the NBC broadcast, specifically WVIT-30 in Hartford, CT). The only confirmed circulation ever done of Greatest Adventure was on a laserdisc in Japan (with Japanese subtitles) during either the late 80s or early 90s. (This can also be found on YouTube.)
  • Posthumous Credit: Ted Cassidy (the butler Lurch in the 1960s TV series of The Addams Family, and Harvey Logan in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) voiced Thun the Lion-Man in The Greatest Adventure of All movie. This was his final acting role before his death in 1979. Thun was then voiced by another actor in the Saturday morning TV series, and the movie was not released until 1982. (The movie's end credits incorrectly lists Cassidy as voicing Vultan, and Vultan's actor voicing Thun.)
