Nickelodeon's first feature film.
The letters that Harriet writes on the top corners of the pages in her notebook spell "EVERYBODY HATES ME."
The film started shooting on October 11, 1995 which was Michelle Trachtenberg's tenth birthday.
Many theatrical versions included the pilot episode of Hey Arnold! as a short before the start of the film.
Michelle Trachtenberg opted out of Matilda (1996) in favor of this film.
