Trivia
During rewrites, Dana Carvey made the film to make his two, at the time, preteen sons laugh (because the majority of his projects were not suitable for children). His sons really hated live-action PG movies. They thought they were nerdy and not cool. So Carvey tried to make a movie that seemed PG-13, but was actually PG. He failed horribly

Goofs
When Pistachio and Jennifer go to the toy convention to find Bowman she says her name is Barbara, and Bowman invites her to his house. When Pistachio comes looking for her at the door (as the German Guy and the Snobby English Guy) he says he needs to talk to Jennifer Barker. Wouldn't he ask to see Barbara instead of Jennifer? Also Bowman knows her as Barbara and didn't say anything about him calling her Jennifer.

Quotes
Pistachio Disguisey: Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club. Turtle, turtle, turtle!

Crazy credits
During the final credits, there are scenes from a wedding between Pistachio Disguisey and Jennifer, as well as Dana Carvey hamming it up in several disguises, some 'bloopers', and Dana acting out scenes from other movies/shows.

Alternate versions
In the UK, to avoid a '12A' rating, a series of headbutts were removed. This cuts seven seconds.

i may be only 14 but....

this movie was way way way way kiddish, it was cute and everything, a cute idea and all that but it was way too kiddish for anyone over 8, i mean it was funny at some parts but kind of annoying at most, i wouldnt reccomend it for many, it bored me right down to the ground so dont go see it unless your with your little brother or sister or are a parent
