It was Harder's only acting role and he was pulling focus on set whenever he wasn't needed in front of the camera.

* SleeperHit: Disney dumped the first film into theaters with no faith in it doing great, using it as a filler release before ''Film/{{Aladdin}}'' that fall and a companion piece to ''Film/HoneyIBlewUpTheKid'', which released a couple weeks prior. Not only did the film keep a steady pace, to their surprise it ended up being their biggest hit that month, and was *still* making huge profits even when they slowly started to remove it from some theaters. In terms of cost-to-gross ratio, the film ended up being Disney's most profitable by the end of the year, due to it being such a low budgeted film.
