Anecdotes
Daniel Stern, who plays Glen Stevenson (the father of Fred Savage's Brian Stevenson), was the man responsible for the voice-over narration on Les années coup de coeur (1988), in which Savage starred.

Gaffes
While it is understood that Brian should not visit the Monsters' world anymore because he may turn into a monster himself, there is no reason to think Maurice cannot continue to visit Brian at night in the human world. This makes the tearful goodbye at the end unnecessary.

Citations
Maurice: A man's best friend, His right hand.

Crédits fous
After the song "Road to Nowhere", the rest of the end credits audio track is Maurice eating Doritos chips.

Versions alternatives
In the original theatrical cut, "Little Bitty Pretty One" by Bobby Day plays during the scene where the monsters attempt to scare a baby. On the DVD released by MGM in 2004, this song is replaced with "Ooh Wow" by Buckwheat Zydeco (though the end credits still list the original song). The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate (as part of their Vestron Video series), and the television airings, keep the original song intact.

What a wonderful kid's film .. or not?

Although I did enjoy this movie (and gave it a 7), I found the PG rating a major misstep by the MPAA. Cuss words, adult situations, more than cartoonish violence .. not that the movie is lessened because of it .. but at the beginning of the video I rented, there was an add for kids to call a 1-900 number and try to win prizes related to to the show - but this movie is in no way made with kids in mind. Howie Mandel hams it up, and an early movie appearance by Frank Whaley is five minutes of fabulous.
