    • Trivia
      In the first classroom scene, you can see a drawing of a flux capacitor from Back to the Future (1985) on the board behind the Headmaster (played by Christopher Lloyd, who also played Doc Brown, the inventor of the flux capacitor in the film). He also erases 1.21 gigawatts from the board at the end of the scene.
    • Goofs
      In the pillow-fight scene, the stunt double for Jillian (Chloe Moretz) receives several close-ups where the face is clearly seen to be Asian.
    • Quotes

      Nervous Lumberjack: I always wanted to be...

      Mayor Lichfield: What? What?

      Nervous Lumberjack: I always wanted to be...

      Mayor Lichfield: Say it, man!

      Nervous Lumberjack: A pet store owner.

      Mayor Lichfield: What?

    My kids loved it

    My kids loved it, but my wife and me, not so much. The only saving grace is that it has quite a few 80's and 90's pop culture references. Those were fun.

    This has some iconic actors and it's totally for all the family to watch. It's super mild, my 3 year old really liked it and didn't get scared at all.

    The show is super weird and quirky. There is this one super silly fight scene that made my kids laugh.

    I will say that the goose's voice is pretty annoying, and the show could have done better without him. I literally have nothing left to say about this show. How the heck did they convince these big name actors to play in this movie?
