Paired with the feature Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, it took in $14 million (US) on opening weekend.

Tummy Trouble was produced at the main Walt Disney Feature Animation studio in Burbank, California, while Roller Coaster Rabbit and Trail Mix-Up were produced at the satellite studio located at Disney-MGM LESS
