This was Judith Barsi's final film. She and her mother were murdered by Barsi's father a year and a half before the film's release. The ending theme, "Love Survives," is dedicated to Barsi's memory.
MGM shortened a scene involving Charlie in Hell to avoid a possible PG rating. Don Bluth owns a private version of the uncut film that has never been released on home media.
Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise, who had developed a rapport after starring in several movies together, insisted that Don Bluth leave the room during recording sessions so that they could improvise off one another better. Bluth agreed and allowed Reynolds and DeLuise to ad-lib extensively. Bluth later commented "their ad-libs were often better than the original script". Reynolds was more complimentary of the draft, saying "Great script, kid", as he left the studio.
When the heavenly whippet looks in Charlie's records, his mother and father are named "Loni A." and "Burt R.", and look like canine versions of Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds (who were together at the time.)
Lana Beeson did Anne-Marie's singing in "Soon You'll Come Home". Judith Barsi broke down during the audition because of her life at home, and the filmmakers decided not to push her.
"Anne-Marie: Charlie, will I ever see you again? Charlie: Sure you will, kid. You know goodbyes aren't forever. Anne-Marie: Then goodbye, Charlie. I love you. Charlie: Yep... I love you too."
"Whippet Angel: All dogs go to heaven because, unlike people, dogs are naturally good and loyal and kind."
