Production

The episode was started by the Spümcø studio in 1992. [1] The production was delayed, and the lay-out stage was done at the Rough Draft Korea studio in Seoul instead of at the Spümcø studio was usual as a cost-saving measure. [1] Vincent Waller was in South Korea supervising the lay-out stage for The Great Outdoors when the Spümcø studio when learned on 21 September 1992 that Spümcø studio had lost the contract for The Ren & Stimpy Show, and that someone else would be finishing The Great Outdoors. [1] Ken Bruce of the Games Animation studio was sent out to replace Waller.. [2]

Reception

The American journalist Thad Komorowski wrote that The Great Outdoors was a weak episode with no real plot, and that the episode "lacked finesse" as the artists at Games Animation were clearly not interested in the story. [3]
