1----
2* ChannelHop: This was intended to be a co-production between Disney and Creator/StevenSpielberg's Creator/AmblinEntertainment. Spielberg always wanted Creator/RobinWilliams to play Brainard, but Williams refused to work with Disney due to a bitter lawsuit over the actor's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' contract. Spielberg decided to remain loyal to his friend Williams and dropped out of the film. Ironically, a few years later, Williams reconciled with the Disney execs and agreed to accept the leading part.
3* CreatorKiller: Despite the movie not doing that badly at the box office, this was the second and last movie Creator/JohnHughes' Great Oaks Entertainment ever made.
4* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/JodiBenson is usually known for voicing characters who are [[GenkiGirl perky]] and [[NiceGirl extremely nice]]. Here, she voices a robot assistant who, while very kindhearted, is rather [[OnlySaneWoman practical]] and [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] in most of her dialogue.
5* ReleaseDateChange: An insert inside the 2012 Blu-Ray of ''Theatre/BabesInToyland'' promotes a 2012 Blu-Ray release of ''Flubber'', in honor of its 15th Anniversary. However, the anniversary came and went without the movie coming to Blu-Ray. Disney provided no explanation for this delay, nor have they revealed a new release date.
6* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
7** Creator/TimAllen, Creator/JeffGoldblum, Creator/JohnLithgow, Creator/RalphFiennes, Creator/JohnGoodman, Creator/ChristopherLloyd and Creator/PatrickStewart were considered for Phillip Brainard.
8** Early in production, Creator/StevenSpielberg was in talks to produce this film.
