6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Little Giants (1994)?
a.		Screenwriter Robin Morningstar approached the property owner Jordan Mechner with a script based on the original Prince of Persia game of the franchise, the aim being working as a team to get a film made. He and his materials were abruptly exorcised before Disney bought the film rights to the series. The Disney film focuses on the much-later Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time story arc, whilst the game canon seemingly reboots well clear of its origins with a new game titled simply Prince of Persia. Morningstars script, much like the original 1989 canon, is out in the cold. (This was referred to briefly during interview in Retro Gamer Magazine Issue 51.)
b.		This movie was inspired by an early 1990s McDonalds ad about Pee-Wee Football that ran during the Super Bowl. The day after it aired, Steven Spielberg liked it so much that he called up the ads creator, James Ferguson, and hired him to write the script for what became "Little Giants."
c.		The character of Mimi, the dying prostitute, was intended as a macabre joke, a reference to the opera "La Bohème", which features a dying woman named Mimi. Such darkly humorous references are common in Val Lewtons films.
d.		The character Billy was originally supposed be played by Richard Kho, who later got the role of Chinese Guy, but he bailed on the day of the shoot. Director Vijet D. Teng took the role, with the idea of putting a combination of a ski mask, bandages on his face, and a strange accent. He and Dennis improvised many of their scenes together as Billy and Lance. It worked better than what was written, adding to the strangeness of Lances social circle.

d.		The film was originally budgeted at $6.5 million, but was reduced by the studio after production was underway. Gary Goldman and the films producers resorted to mortgaging their homes in order to raise the extra $700,000 needed to complete the film. In spite of these difficulties, the film still cost under $7 million - roughly half of what Disney had been spending at the time on each of their animated features, even with their cost-cutting methods in animation.
