Trivia
The character of neighbor Judith Beasley played by Lily Tomlin was derived from one of Tomlin's live stand-up shows.

John Landis was the original director of the project. In his version, the film would have ended with the heroine giving a speech in Washington D.C. when she was less than a foot tall. Universal wanted the budget scaled back from $30 million to $10 million, so the script was rewritten and Landis dropped out.
