Just Me and My Dad was adapted as an animated video in 1993. The 23-minute program was produced by Mercer Mayer for Perennial Pictures Film Corporation.[1] Differences in the adaptation included new characters like Little Sister and Bigpaw, the mother plays a little larger role than the book, and a scene where he and his dad almost crashed into a billboard. There were also two songs The World Goes 'Round and Bigpaw's Comin'. It has been released on Golden Book VHS, and Mercer Mayer has uploaded it on his official Little Critter website. It has yet to be officially released on DVD.

In 2000, Infogrames / Kidz Corner / GT Interactive released a computer CD-ROM of Just Me and My Dad for IBM PC and Macintosh. Many elements from this CD-ROM have been uploaded by Mercer Mayer on his official Little Critter website.
