Trivia
Poor box office
The critical panning, and poor box office receipts resulted in 20th Century Fox canceling the Blu-ray release of the film and instead releasing it on standard DVD.
A curious casting
To ensure he would cast the best possible young actors, Jan Sverak applied a new casting method of having each child of 800 who auditioned tell a joke so he could see verbal skills, sense of humor and ability to remember and deliver a story.
A prequel
This film is a prequel of a prior film called 'The Elementary School', released in 1991.
