Trivia
The film was intended for theatrical release. It tested poorly with older test audiences, so the studio released it straight-to-video in the US, where it could make more money in the lucrative kids' video market. Since it was completed on its original theatrical studio budget, it became the most expensive straight-to-video film ever at the time of its release. It was shown theatrically in many countries, including Germany, Spain, France, Japan, Portugal, the UK, and South Africa. See more »Goofs

I was babysitting a family of three small children for a night and their mother gave me this to show for them having just grabbed it at Wal-Mart earlier in the week. All three children actually got physically ill while watching it. I'm pretty sure it was the pizza they ate, or something they all had picked up from school, but really it could have been this film. Absolutely disgusting. How any one can produce this caliber of trash is beyond me. Fortunately, I turned off the film when I noticed the children were not responding and acting strangely. For any parents out there, I strongly advise you to refrain from letting young children view this movie.
