Trivia

The trolley that Mia rolls back into with her Mustang is not a trolley or cable car but a tour bus. The tires of the bus can be seen in the shot.

In the book, Mia's father is not dead. Rather, he has testicular cancer. In order to avoid what Disney thought was a too adult topic, he was just written as dead in the movie. In the book, when Mia shoves the ice cream on Lana, her father sticks up for her with her mother. Also in the book, the plot of Mia's mother Helen dating her math teacher is a much bigger deal.

Garry Marshall's granddaughters watched the tapes of actresses auditioning for the role of Mia - they confided in their grandfather he should hire Anne Hathaway because she had good princess hair.

Goofs

At the state dinner, Clarisse asks Emperor Sakamoto if he wants to look at some pictures. He says no and takes a sip from a spoon of what appears to be soup. However, the soup hasn't been served yet.

At their second meeting, Clarisse tells Mia to wear "stockings, not tights" on her next visit. However, the garment that Mia is putting on in the back seat of the limousine, en route to the consulate the next day, is a pair of tights, not a pair of stockings, as the queen specified.

Share this

In the scene when Mia and Michael kiss by the fountain, Michael puts his hand behind his back. In the next shot it is by his side, and he puts it behind his back for a second time.

Q

How exactly did Mia's father die?

A

Well, in the book he just had testicular cancer and never died. But the producers for the movie thought that topic was too adult for the movie, so they said that he died, and in some sort of "accident." In the movie, Clarisse says, "Then, the terrible accident....." so we can decide that he died in a car accident or something like that.
