Cry Baby Lane is a Nickelodeon television film that premiered on October 28, 2000. The film was never aired outside the United States nor dubbed into other languages. It was not rebroadcast until 2011 and has never received a home media release. Similar to the 2003 Nickelodeon film The Electric Piper and the 2011 Cartoon Network film Johnny Bravo Goes to Bollywood, this was also considered a lost film for over a decade since its original airing from 2000 during SNICK's Halloween special that was hosted by Melissa Joan Hart. Nickelodeon began receiving letters written by the angry parents of children and the film was widely believed to be withheld from re-release because of controversies surrounding this film, but a Nickelodeon representative stated that the film had been merely forgotten.[2] In 2011, a copy was discovered on Reddit and the ensuing reaction prompted TeenNick to re-air the film on October 31, 2011.[3]
