Robin Williams was offered the role of Drop Dead Fred, but instead chose to play Peter Banning in Hook (1991). Rik Mayall played Drop Dead Fred instead. Mayall and Williams both died in 2014.
The scene where Polly tapes up the jack in the box containing Fred was based off an actual incident that happened to a friend of co-writer/executive producer Carlos Davis named Steve Burnette. Burnette's mother Gloria had an imaginary friend when she was a little girl. But the girl's mother couldn't stand the fact that her daughter had an imaginary friend. It finally got to the point to where the Gloria's mother took her imaginary friend and flushed it down the toilet. This incident traumatized her for three years.
Carrie Fisher re-wrote some of her dialogue.
The script was originally offered to Tim Burton, but he declined to direct.
Grandma Bunce is played by the director's mother. For the scene where she gets paint thrown on her, yogurt was used. Weeks later, she said she still found some yogurt in her ears.
"Fred: [Looking up Polly's skirt] Wow. [Looks at Elizabeth and points up] Fred: Cobwebs."
"[Polly has just finished reading a Fairy Tale] Young Elizabeth: Did they live happily ever after? Polly: Of Course Elizabeth. Young Elizabeth: How do you know? Polly: Because, she was a good little girl, if she would have been naughty, the Prince would have run away. Young Elizabeth: What a pile of shit."
