    • Trivia
      Parts of the filming were done in front of a green screen, and everything the characters did not interact with or touch was animated in post-production. Parts of the film, which were shot in live-action, were animated during post-production using a technique similar to the rotoscoping used in Linklater's Waking Life (2001) and A Scanner Darkly (2006).
    • Goofs
      In 1969, frosted flakes were called SUGAR Frosted flakes; the word, "sugar"was removed much later.
    • Quotes

      Grown Up Stan: I guess I was what you'd call a fabulist, which is just a nicer way of saying persistent liar.

    • Crazy credits
      The credits start rolling while the camera spans over the surface of the Moon and reveals the Earth in the background.

    A fun romp through space and the late 1960s

    It's a great little trip down memory lane. I grew up in the late sixties and this little film really resonated with me. It depicted the era perfectly, although, since I didn't grow up in the Houston area, there were a few local things that didn't[t resonate with me. But overall, this is a fun family movie just bout everyone can enjoy! Great job on picking out the songs of the era too!
