Production
Word of a Barney film first arose in November 1992 when Debbie Ries, sales director for the Lyons Group said plans for a movie was in the works.[1] In 1993, it was later announced by creator Sheryl Leach at the The National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that a movie was coming. Later in 1994, a Barney Magazine states that Barney would star in his first ever film entitled Barney: The Movie. It would originally be distributed worldwide by Geffen Pictures through Warner Bros and produced by Sheryl Leach, Kathy Parker, and Dennis DeShazer. According to Sheryl Leach, it had a release date for the summer of 1995. Warner Bros. and The Lyons Group had disagreements over marketing, leading the latter to bring the film (with help from now former producer Geffen) to Polygram.[1]

On May 28, 1996, Barney himself announced his film at a news conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Later in 1996, teaser trailers for the film Barney's Super-Dee-Duper Adventure: The Movie arose on VHS cassettes with some Barney Home Videos. To Sheryl Leach, it was a joy of filming as she stated "It was a joy to do the film because it took me back to the early days in Barney's development. Just like the beginning days of Barney, this movie takes him to places children have never experienced with him before. The film was a great opportunity to open new story lines and environments so that children can travel to new places with their friend, Barney," Leach says. "The film goes to some incredible places that we hope will appeal not only to children but to adults as well." Leach adds that the film allowed them to "take the familiar Barney and put him outdoors and in other very different settings from his traditional environments." The film was shot on the same locations where the show was. The veteran film crew was initially a bit skeptical of the large purple star. This (along with the 1995-1997 Season 3) was intended to be the series finale of the show, but since this movie was popular, Lyrick Studios' manager wanted more episodes when the Seasons 1-3 crew (with Stephen White) wanted to end the show, so they left, leaving a few key people left.
