Trivia

• Lisa Vischer, Phil Vischer's wife, voices Junior. Originally finding Junior's voice was so hard to find. Mike Nawrocki and Phil Vischer tried to find the right voice. Lisa wanted to try but Phil didn't want her because he thought she'd do a poor job and it would put a strain on their marriage. But in the end it all worked out.
