History Trivia / MouseHunt

* ActorAllusion:
** Ernie, played by Creator/NathanLane, says [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 "Hakuna Matata"]] to a vaguely ethnic foreigner at the auction. Lane voices Timon in ''Franchise/TheLionKing'' movies. Pumbaa himself, Ernie Sabella, plays the technician at the pound.
-->'''Ernie''': You should be our spokesperson. I know [[Creator/{{Disney}} some people]] who used a mouse as a spokesperson, and it seemed to work out pretty well.
** A very blunt one in the trailer:
-->''This is Nathan Lane. You loved him in Film/TheBirdcage.''

** In a ''[[HilariousInHindsight pre-emptive]]'' one, Ernie's line while fighting with Lars, "''Double! Double! Double!''" is a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheProducers''. Nathan Lane would later star in the Broadway show as the character who says this line.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film was originally just going to be another ''Film/HomeAlone'' clone and be set in ThePresentDay. Creator/GoreVerbinski decided to go for a RetroUniverse aesthetic, much to the studio's chagrin.
