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".

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but it can not do without that life.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
