* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The film got this treatment in the United Kingdom and the United States due to it opening up against highly-anticipated releases. In the UK, it opened against ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'', and in the United States, it opened against ''Film/BlackPanther'', which had the biggest winter opening weekend for a film of all time.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Had they not [[ExecutiveMeddling broken off their five-picture deal early]], this would have been the fourth collaboration between Aardman and Creator/DreamworksAnimation after ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' and would have been about the discovery of fire. Instead, both parties broke off and did their own cave man movies, with [=DreamWorks=] doing ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' and Aardman doing this film.

* ShoutOut: At the very beginning, one of the first things we see is a T-Rex fighting a Triceratops, reminiscent of ''One Million Years BC''. At the very end, the two dinosaurs are identified as Ray and Harry, a tribute to RayHarryhausen.
