Trivia

The source novel - "The Great Dinosaur Robbery" by Robert Forrest Webb and David Eliades under the pseudonym David Forrest - was written with an adult audience in mind. It was also set in New York. Both authors researched the location and time period thoroughly with a lot of help from the American Museum of Natural History. They were highly disappointed with the Disney Studios' decision to make a children's movie from the material.

The skeleton prop was apparently used in the scene where C3PO sees the Jawa transporter in Star Wars, which was made at Elstree Studios 2 years later. Presumably the prop was laying around the Studio facility gathering dust...

Goofs

When the nannies are searching the dinosaur, Hettie observes that if the skeleton fell on them they would be the first people to be killed in a dinosaur in two million years. Dinosaurs actually became extinct about 65 million years ago. Humans emerged only about 200,000 years ago, so Hettie is wrong on multiple counts.
