Release
Toonlympics was originally slated for summer 1999, but was pushed to October 1999 to give the production team more time to finish the film, with Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace taking over its original slot. In March 2012, Fox announced a 3D re-release of Toonlympics scheduled for November 9, 2012, but this was cancelled on June 22, 2012, due to the under-performance of Sister Light, Sister Dark's 3D re-release.

The film made its network television premiere on Fox on November 22, 2001.

The film was accompanied by promotional campaigns by Burger King, Pepsi, Baskin-Robbins, Mattel, and General Mills.
