The fifth of very few theatrically released live-action films of the 2010s to be Rated G by the MPAA. The previous 4 (not counting documentaries) had been Ramona and Beezus (2010), Seven Days in Utopia (2011), Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (2011) and The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (2012), and the next 3 would later be Bernie The Dolphin (2018), Noelle (2019) and Bernie the Dolphin 2 (2019).
The name of the town Ryan moves to, Santa Carla, is the same town Michael and Sam move to in The Lost Boys (1987).
