Alternate Versions

For the U.S. theatrical release, the Paramount logo appeared before the Dreamworks logo at the beginning of the film, and the poster credits said, "Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks Pictures present."

In the European version, the original order of the logos and studio names is preserved (and the DVD is released by Paramount).
