Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Due to the first film's controversy, Native Americans are completely absent from the sequel, though teepees and totem poles appear in one scene, and the mermaids are given brassieres because their first-film appearances were considered sexualized.
- Kathryn Beaumont, the original voice of Wendy, recorded dialogue for the sequel but was replaced by Soucie because Beaumont's voice had aged.
- The project began as Peter and Jane, a sequel to Peter Pan intended as the first theatrical release from Disney Animation Canada, which worked on it until the studio shut down in fall 1999; now a direct-to-video release, production moved to Walt Disney Animation Australia and Walt Disney Animation Japan.
