Petrie is having a difficult time preparing for "The Day of the Flyers", an important day for all of the flying residents of the Great Valley, when all of the young flyers must participate in a very precise flying exhibition to prove that they are ready to fly with the adults. Always a nervous flyer, Petrie has even more trouble flying with his siblings in precise group formations — he’s more of an independent, free-style kind of guy. At the same time, a strange newcomer to the Great Valley has Littlefoot and his friends trying to help figure out just exactly what he is. Named Guido, he’s the strangest looking creature any of the Great Valley creatures has ever seen, especially since he’s covered with "fuzzies" (feathers!), and has never seen another like himself. Cera is having her own troubles, as her grumpy dad and his new mate, Tria, get ready to welcome a hatchling to the family.
All of these issues come together on the night before "The Day of the Flyers", when Guido starts to figure out what he is, inadvertently leading all of the gang on a perilous adventure into the Mysterious Beyond.

The three-minute Flip, Flap and Fly music video was shown in theaters before Curious George, but only in select cities. It can be seen on the Curious George and PollyWorld DVDs as one of the following previews. It was never included on the film's disc.
There is some dispute over which aspect ratio this film was created in. The trailer and clips from the film, which can be seen on the film's official website, are issued and some parts of the trailer are stretched. The American, Canadian and Australian DVDs appear to be reformatted versions, while the film had anamorphic widescreen DVDs outside of those countries. It is possible that the film was created in both ratios, and if so, this would be the first in the series since the original 1988 film to be created in widescreen.
This film was originally subtitled The Day of the Flyers, but the word "great" was added to the subtitle.
This was the first time the Universal Studios website notes this film as a "tween film".
The Flip, Flap and Fly scene seems to be different than the music video by using alternate scenes, such as ones that didn't make it to the music video, like the one that reveals that the little green flyer was the egg that got lost around through the song. Also, the music video included some shots that were not in the film. Instead, the whole Flip, Flap and Fly scene just ends with all flyers flying around.
The new Universal Animation Studios logo, seen after the end credits for the film, did not include its original music or Curious George's chatter; instead, it included the very last part the lyric-free version of the song Flip, Flap and Fly.
