An entire day's worth of film was lost when it was believed to have been accidentally left in a New York City taxicab. The film was never recovered.
This is a remake of the French movie Little Indian, Big City (1994). The plot follows the original fairly closely, except that the original was set in Paris rather than New York, and Mimi-Siku climbed the Eiffel Tower rather than the Statue of Liberty.
In addition to relocating from Paris to New York, the character Mimi-Siku was made much older than the preteen in the French version. This was largely due to Americans' general discomfort with young love, under the explanation that "a teenager can get into more trouble." Additionally, despite American Mimi-Siku's having lived in the wild, there's less difference in the skin tones of the two male leads than in the original French film. This was done to emphasize their kinship.
Feature film debut of Leelee Sobieski.
The book Mimi-Siku reads aloud at the end is "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London.
"Michael Cromwell: [showing Mimi how to use the toilet] Before you pee, you lift the seat; after you pee, you put the seat back down. Females in tribe start war over this. Many deaths."
"Mimi-Siku: [after being out on the windows with Michael] Baboon scared? Michael Cromwell: Yes, Baboon scared. Baboon not know he could *be* so scared. Baboon's pants a little damp."
