    • Trivia
      Steve Martin was the first choice to play George Newton. John Candy, Danny DeVito, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Jeff Goldblum, Rick Moranis, and Robin Williams were later considered for the part.
    • Goofs
      When Ted and Rice are playing Super Mario Brothers 3, they are both mashing away on controllers; however, when it shows the close-up of the screen, we see that they're only playing a one-player game at the time.
    • Quotes

      Alice Newton: I don't think words for parts of the body make very good names.

      Emily Newton: He's got one of those, I looked.

      Alice Newton: I'm sure he does but I don't think Daddy would want to stand on the porch at night yelling that out.

      Emily Newton: But that's what you call Uncle Richard.

    • Crazy credits
      As the end credits finish, a short scene plays of Beethoven standing on a rock, silhouetted against a sunset. He barks as the screen fades to black.

    Great Family Film
    If you love funny animal films, you will laugh till you cry at the antics of Beethoven and his human companions. The scene where the children are trying to find a name for the dog is cute and if you like classical music you will appreciate the humor behind how the name is finally derived. I was rather surprised to see Good Guy Dean Jones, star of many Disney films, in his portrayal of the dastardly and evil Vet. I almost did not recognize him with the thick "soda bottle-bottom" glasses, but as always Mr. Jones gave a stellar performance. X-Files star David Duchovney plays the part of a company representative who wants to try to take over the family's business, and only Beethoven sees him and his female partner for what they are and takes them on the ride of their lives (one of the funniest scenes of the film). I generally find sequels are not as good as the first, but in this case the humor of Beethoven's 2nd and Beethoven's 3rd hold true to first and are also worth viewing.
