[edit] Production
It was filmed in the Canadian Rockies, a precursor to the many Hollywood films that would film in Canada soon after. The score was composed by Alan Silvestri. The movie is also one of Bart the Bear's earliest roles.
[edit] Box office and reception
Because the film cost US $15 million to produce and brought in only US $1.9 million domestically, it is considered a box office flop. The film was nominated for an Oscar in 1987 for Best Makeup (Michael Westmore and Michèle Burke).[1]
