The movie hasn't been seen since its few initial airings on Nickelodeon, as it was never released onto VHS or DVD. Only three clips of it have resurfaced onto the internet, one of which has since been taken down. The film has not resurfaced on the Internet, and no complete TV recordings are known to exist. However the director Raymie Muzquiz confirmed he has a copy but for some reason isn't allowed to release it. He hopes to one day find a way to release it online but has confirmed that Nickelodeon's legal department decided that it did not have enough documentation on the music rights to re-release the movie safely. He also said that before the movie was aired originally they had to re-do the music because Nickelodeon legal at the time thought the songs were too close to the songs they were referencing.
