For whatever reason, this episode was not included on any DVD releases of ''The Wild Thornberrys'', and as a result, it eventually faded into obscurity. However, on the 11th of May, 2013, YouTube user jeffdadude87 (who had previously recorded the entire ''Big Help-a-thon 5'') kindly uploaded a bootleg copy of the episode on our request (but only for a limited time). Thanks jeff!
