Trivia

In his first appearance, the comic book store owner/manager character is wearing a "Mumford Phys. Ed. Dept." T-shirt. This is the shirt famously worn by Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley in the original Beverly Hills Cop film (following the release of that movie, sales of these shirts skyrocketed).

Goofs

While the animal control officer is fixated on the squirrel carrying rabies, per the CDC: "Small rodents (like squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, and mice) and lagomorphs (including rabbits and hares) are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans."

User Reviews

fun family entertainment

I'm a 40 year old middle aged single comic book nerd and I wish I had a fun family like Floras. This movie was not only entertaining but made me hope and wish every child had a fun adventure like this family. Floras father was absolutely amazing and every daughter should have a superhero dad like him. I was laughing and tearing up all at the same time. This is a great film for every family.
