Trivia:

Originally, Sony Pictures did not want to participate in the animation game with the expense and risks involved, but Columbia chief Amy Pascal greenlit this movie anyway on a personal pitch from Adam Sandler himself.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: When Whitey tells Eleanor about the night Davey's parents died, Whitey says it was in '81. After the team wins the basketball game, Whitey does the "robot dance" to the song "Mr. Roboto" which came out in '83.

Quotes:

Davey Stone:How did you get so good on the ice, anyway?
Whitey:In the '50s I refed youth hockey for a couple of seasons.
Eleanor Duvall:Until a hockey puck struck him in the back of the head.
Whitey:Nothin' a metal plate couldn't fix.
Eleanor Duvall:You were in a coma for three months.
Whitey:I needed the rest, anyway!

Technical Foul

Don't waste your time or your money on this...

The animation looked pretty good - the police car was up to date at least. But the plot line in this sophomoric stinker was the worst I'd ever seen, with only one possible exception. The rating should have been an "R" and it wouldn't be the first for an animated feature. Insulted my intelligence!
