    • Goofs
      After admitting to his parents that he was playing stickball instead of visiting Naomi on the fourth day, Alan throws himself face-up on the couch and puts a newspaper over his face while his shirttails, which are not tucked in, fall back revealing his stomach (at 0:33:39 on the Feature Films for Families version and again at 0:34:25). As his father comes to the couch Alan's shirttails are neatly arranged, covering his stomach and belt (at 0:34:36).
    • Alternate versions
      In 2003 Feature Films for Families released an edited version of 'Alan & Naomi' on both VHS tape and DVD with a 92m:01s run time (despite "approx. 87 minutes" on the DVD case). A 28 second Feature Films for Families logo clip was added at the beginning as was a 5 second "CINAR Presents" screen, replacing the original "LEUCADIA FILM CORPORATION AND THE MALTESE COMPANIES Present" screen. Nothing was cut from the ending credits, but a 5 second CINAR logo clip and a 13 second Feature Films for Families screen were added after the original ending credits for a total of 51 seconds of video added, leaving 91m 10s of the original 95m 31s length. In general, Feature Films for Families edits out of the sound track and/or the frames any language, violence, or behavior that parents might find awkward to explain to their young children.

    Awesome Movie!
    Alan and Naomi is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's kinda a tear-jerker, but i liked it a lot. Vanessa Zaoui plays Naomi and she is an excellent actress although I have never seen her in any other movie. She plays a French girl who moved to America after she witnesses her father's death, which was caused by the Nazi's. Alan is a kid growing up in Brooklyn who would rather play stick-ball than visit the "crazy girl" next door, but her mother forces him. Naomi is usually in her own world and spooks easily when approached. I really enjoyed this movie because I love period pieces and the acting is really well done. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the World War II era.
