Trivia:

The film was originally going to be a pilot, for a TV series. But when the Paramount executives were shown very early footage, and early design plans for it, they were so impressed by it that they decided to fund it for cinema exhibition.

Goofs:

Continuity: On the morning when Jimmy discovers his parents are gone, there is a shot of the staircase and you can see the picture of the family, hanging at a slight angle with nothing surrounding it. The next day, when Jimmy looks at the picture while walking up the stairs, it's perfectly straight and has other pictures surrounding it.

Quotes:

[about the aliens]
Mrs. Neutron: I don't care how advanced they say they are. If your father and I haven't met them, they're strangers. Right, Hugh?
Mr. Neutron: Yeah, well, except for policemen. They're there to help you.

Kids Movie? I Object!

So it's by Nickelodeon. So,It's animated. So, I'm 25 with a 3 year old. I love this movie! Maybe I'm one of the few lucky people to be born with a healthy sense of humor, but when my son and I can sit down together and laught at the same parts of the movie, it's definitley worth it's wieght in gold. Don't you people remember being kids? What would you do if you found out there were no parents anywhere around? Yep-the same thing they did, party until you're constipated.THEN wonder where your parents are. Kids like burp and fart jokes because they're kids. How many times can you recall in your childhood when a well-timed burp would disrupt a class for the remainder of the day? And just to add my son't two cents: the part where Poultra is conked on the head by the getaway ship and is going to fall on the audience... my son finds nothing funnier than the thought of a chicken with butt cheeks. Why don't you people see the movie for the entertainment that it is and not pick it apart like some Oscar Nominations Panel? I have two words for you people... UN PUCKER.
