- TriviaJudging from unused footage in the trailer and behind-the-scenes specials, the opening animated sequence was also shot in live-action, but never used.
- GoofsIn the first scene with the ruby, Luanne says "Exquisite!" to which Morgan responds "Actually, it's corundum, which is an aluminum oxide." Luanne says "'Exquisite' is an adjective, not an element." Corundum isn't an element either - it's a compound.

- Crazy credits(Closing statement) The preceding film is not intended as an accurate portrayal of blindness or poor eyesight. Blindness or poor eyesight does not imply an impairment of one's ability to be employed in a wide range of jobs, raise a family, perform important civic duties or engage in a well-rounded life. All people with disabilities deserve a fair chance to live and work without being impeded by prejudice.

Featured review
"Where did my pants go?"
I love the animated version of Mr. Magoo and was disappointed by the film version. The character has come under fire for mocking the disabled because of his deafness but he really is the hero each time and it makes a change for a hero to not be in full compliment of his faculties. The film tries but fails to capture the true magic of the bumbler from the cartoons but Leslie Nielsen looks uncomfortable here as more serious roles suit him better. Mr Magoo was always a two joke affair: 1) He couldn't see well and 2) he always made little quips and remarks to himself. Not something that would lend itself easily to an hour+ motion picture. In this case, the late Nielsen's charisma and a few decent gags make this run-of-the-mill, late 90's Disney-cartoon-adaptation a little more tolerable than most of its despised peers.
Overall rating: 6 out of 10.
