Off-the-Shelf FX: The Barney dolls used in the film are ones that were sold in stores, as opposed to the custom-made dolls featured on the TV series.

Suddenly Bilingual: At Chez Snobbe, one of the waiters compliments Barney in French. He replies in fluent French, telling him "the pleasure is ours," much to the kids' confusion. (The conversation is subtitled in English)

All There in the Script
 Barney's Great Adventure / int_222969af
comment
All There in the Script: In the April 1995 draft of the screenplay, the story was said to take place over the summer holidays and Marcella was revealed to be the cousin of Tosha, one of the original kids from the show. It also explains why Cody and Abby's parents dropped the kids off at Grandpa's farm: They were going to a teacher's convention.

Not So Above It All: Barney, of all people. Usually an All-Loving Hero and a Perpetual Smiler, Barney can't help but mess with Cody during the "Imagine" musical number, and when Marcella suggests that the egg came from a giant chicken, the others including Barney turn to her as if to give out a Flat "What".

No Antagonist: As usual in the franchise, this film doesn't have any main villain in it. The main conflict is about Barney and the kids trying to recover the egg. At the same time on the other end however, Cody was kind of a Jerkass to his family and especially Barney until he did a Heel–Face Turn towards the end.
