Production
Nickelodeon set out to do a Doug film in 1993, to be released by 20th Century Fox, along with films based on Rugrats and The Ren & Stimpy Show, but the plans fell through and the films were never produced (with the exception of Rugrats, which got a 1998 movie by Paramount Pictures). When The Walt Disney Company bought Jumbo Pictures along with the cartoon, they decided to re-circle the project for the Doug film. This film was originally planned as a direct-to-video release under the title The First Doug Movie Ever, but due to the success of The Rugrats Movie, it was released theatrically. The film was released on a video cassette on September 21, 1999. To date, there has been no DVD release. It is also available on Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu, and various TV video on demand services for digital rental or purchase.

“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
