You'll Dig Doug - But Probably Not these Facts
Despite the film's title, it was not successful enough to warrant sequels.
Originally planned as a direct-to-video release under the working title, "The First Doug Movie...EVER!". However, based on the box office success of The Rugrats Movie (1998), Disney decided it was best to give the film a theatrical release.
Released on the big-screen with the Disney cartoon short "Donald's Dynamite: Opera Box" in front of it.
A subplot involving Roger having a crush on Herman Melville in her Hermione disguise was cut from the final version of the film. However, it was kept in the film's novelization.
The last traditionally-animated film to be animated with cels rather than the digital ink and paint process being used for other traditionally-animated films at the time.
Although we would honestly not recommend it you can watch Doug's 1st Movie on Disney+
