Steve Martin was the first choice to play George Newton. John Candy, Danny DeVito, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Jeff Goldblum, Rick Moranis, and Robin Williams were later considered for the part.
Eleanor Keaton, Buster Keaton's widow, trained the dog Beethoven for this movie.
Great care was taken to make sure the animals used in filming were not harmed. Measures taken included many trick shots, multiple cuts, and even a mechanical dog/dog suit in order to achieve scenes.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's film debut. He is the kid on the right wearing a green top who gets on the school bus while Ted hides behind a tree before getting on the bus.
Charles Grodin (Mr. George Newton) was 56 at the time of filming, Bonnie Hunt (Mrs. Alice Newton) was only 29. Though no age difference between their characters is ever mentioned.
"Alice Newton: I don't think words for parts of the body make very good names. Emily Newton: He's got one of those, I looked. Alice Newton: I'm sure he does but I don't think Daddy would want to stand on the porch at night yelling that out. Emily Newton: But that's what you call Uncle Richard."
"George: I really don't like our dog. Alice: I really don't like those people, George. I don't trust them. I don't want their money. I know my opinion doesn't matter, but I'm not interested in expanding. If I had been home instead of helping you impress those morons, Emily wouldn't have fallen in the pool. And I'm not re-entering the work force, George. You're gonna have to do this on your own. And you will. Somehow, you'll make your fortune. And tucked away behind you deep in the shadows will be me and the kids. George: That's how you see me. Suddenly, I'm a lousy husband and father. Everything was just fine until Beethoven came into our lives. I've tried to be patient, but I've had it. The dog has to go. Alice: I'm proud of Beethoven. Those two idiots insulted your kids, they treated me like dirt, and he was the only one of us who had the nerve to give them the ride they deserved. I'm going to bed. [she heads back inside] George: My dream's going down the drain, and you're worried about a dog. Alice: Your family's going down the drain, and you're worried about a dream."
