Trivia
In an interview with the Nostalgia Critic, Mara Wilson said that production was very hard for her because her mother had recently died. She claims to have some regrets over her behavior on set because her mind was in a bad place. To this day, she has little recollection of making this film and says she shouldn't have been making a film at the time.

Goofs

Quotes

Crazy credits
After "The Bubble Factory" at the start of the film, tricks are played for the next 4 frames: 1) "Feivbrsel Puctorus and Thn Beabla Uictsry Present" quickly rearranges itself to read "The Bubble Factory and Universal Pictures Present"; 2} "A Sheinberg Production" is first shown with "Sheinberg" rotated 180°; 3) "A Michael Ritchie Film" is first shown with the letters squashed to the right with the bottom of each letter unmoved - they each quickly right themselves; 4) The title is first shown as "A Simqle Wish" - the "q" then spins around its vertical axis, ending up as a "p".
