* Shortly before the film's release; Disney was sued by Paul Alter, best known as a frequent director for [[Creator/MarkGoodson Mark Goodson Productions]]; specifically his work as the original director during the initial run of ''Series/FamilyFeud'' during the 1970s and early 1980s and having been at that time the director on ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' from 1986 until 2000. Alter had submitted a similar script titled "Now, That's a Baby" to Disney in 1980 based upon [[WriteWhatYouKnow watching his granddaughter toppled a set of blocks]], with Alter's script having gotten an unspecified treatment, though nothing further came of the Alter submission. Alter's lawsuit alleged the film's plot (story by Garry Gordlow; who worked on the screenplay version alongside Thorn Eberhardt and Peter Elbling) was similar in several places to Alter's script. A jury eventually ruled in Alter's favor in 1993; with Disney [[http://articles.latimes.com/1993-11-13/entertainment/ca-56385_1_disney-film having to pay $300,000]] in damages.
