Production
The siblings mother Polly Draper, who is the series' creator and executive producer, wrote and directed this film; she recalls, "Nat and Alex have become a fanatic about recycling and saving the environment—and mostly Alex, because after we watched he completely flipped out about it. He refused to take baths: only foot and butt bath's—" Alex barges in saying "Hey! That was written by her," pointing to his mother. Draper continues, "And we hope that this movie will get kids' to recycle and think about the polar bears and the environment."
Principal photography took place in New Orleans, where Michael Wolff is a native of. A scene in the film depicts Alex saying: "We're bigger than Santa Clause", which lampoons John Lennon's comment that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus".
