** Although they had not met before making this film, Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall grew up in the same part of London, only streets apart, making them apt to play siblings.

* CreatorChosenCasting: Emily Blunt was Dwayne Johnson's personal choice for Lily. She actually turned it down twice because she was exhausted from back to back filming of ''Film/MaryPoppinsReturns'' and ''Film/AQuietPlaceII'', but was persuaded to sign on when he recorded a video message expressing his desire to work with her, and Jaume Collet-Serra flew out to New Orleans personally to meet with her.
* CreatorsOddball: Jaime Collet-Serra mainly directs horror films or thrillers like ''Film/HouseOfWax2005'' and ''Film/TheShallows'', so helming a light-hearted Disney adventure flick is different for him.
* DawsonCasting: The real Prince Joachim was 25 at the time the movie takes place. Jesse Plemons was already in his early 30s.

* BoxOfficeBomb: One of the biggest that ever happened to Disney as a whole. Despite earning 220 million dollars at the box office, due to a combination of high production costs and marketing ([[InvisibleAdvertising which had its own issues]], while still costing an enormous pile of money) the film ended up losing 110-150 million dollars, depending on evaluation. Disney themselves declared the film would need to earn ''half a billion'' to be considered profitable.
