    • Trivia
      Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson were only on-set together for one day. Stiller talked to a toothpick for the Jedediah scenes. Wilson filmed all of his parts three months later.
    • Goofs
      Theodore Roosevelt was known to have a high-pitched, squeaky voice due to being a severe asthmatic. However, Teddy explains that he is a wax figure of Roosevelt designed to appear very heroic, so it makes sense that he'd have a deeper, more resonant voice, not unlike Robin Williams.

      Easter Island Head: Hey! Dum-dum!

      Larry: Yes?

      Easter Island Head: You give me gum-gum!

      Larry: I give you gum-gum?

      Easter Island Head: You new Dum-dum. You give me gum-gum.

      Larry: Gee, okay, you know what? I have no gum-gum. Sorry. And my name isn't Dum-dum. My name's Larry.

      Easter Island Head: No, your name Dum-dum.

      [People screaming]

      Easter Island Head: Oh, you in trouble, Dum-dum. You better run-run. From Attila the Hun-hun.

      [Larry runs as Attila and his gang are chasing him]

      Easter Island Head: See you later, Dum-dum!

    Great kids movie!
    I think it's really annoying when I read reviews on here of a kids movie and someone tears it apart. Do these people expect to see Oscar award winning performances and production? As for this film, I thought it was really cute. It's perfect for a kid's imagination. I saw the movie at a pre-screening and every kid afterwards was smiling and excitedly talking about the movie. Sure there are some dumb jokes, etc., but overall the movie was great. It was especially cool to see Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney working together.

    Take your kid to see this movie. Their imagination will go wild and they might even be curious to go to a history museum afterwards.
