Trivia
An entire day's worth of film was accidentally left in a New York City taxicab. The film was never recovered.

Goofs
In the scene with the fish tank, the mother of the household refers to one of the fish as a "Poecilia latipinna" from the Amazon. Mimi-Siku agrees with her and even gives its native name. However, Poecilia latipinna, commonly known as the Sailfin Molly, actually comes from North Carolina down to Texas and the Yucatan Peninsula. Also, the fish in the tank are in fact Rift Valley cichlids from Africa.

Quotes
Michael Cromwell: [showing Mimi how to use the toilet] Before you pee, you lift the seat; after you pee, you put the seat back down. Females in tribe start war over this. Many deaths.

Crazy credits
As the closing credits end, Mimi-Siku's voice is heard

Great Family Film

I loved this movie as a Kid. Watching it as an adult I see its errors, but its still enteraining. The movie is very unrealistic in almost every way, but it's packed full of humor and still manages to give a good overal message in the end. It was fun seeing a wild jungle kid try to adapt to normal life. If your a big fan of Tim Allen and his humor style then he doesnt fail to entertain on this movie. Its also a great clean film that can be enjoyed by all family members.
