    • Trivia
      To make sure both dogs got on well with AnnaSophia Robb, who played Opal, she was brought in early to get acquainted with the dogs and give them treats. By the time shooting started, they considered her a "safe" area.
    • Goofs
      Opal's hair length varies throughout the movie, from a short blunt cut, to a longer, and uneven cut, and then back to short.
    • Quotes

      Amanda Wilkinson: "Hell", is a cuss word.

      Miss Franny: Well, war is a cuss word, too.

    very heartfelt with surprising substance
    This movie was a pleasant surprise in it's overall acting and charm, with a wonderfully directed cast. Winn-Dixie was a fun movie and the dog was really not the star of this one. While the dog had charm, it was little India Opal who stole the show. With Dave Matthews and Cicely Tyson playing wonderful roles, the characters in this film steal your heart. Opal charms the old folks of this town who seem to have lost their joy. Once the candy factory was shut down the citizens hearts left with it. It is Opal who brings the citizens back together and opens up a closed community by throwing a party for the people in the town.
