Trivia / Wonder Park

---

• Billing Displacement: Jennifer Gardner and Matthew Broderick, the voice actors of June's parents, are billed on top, while the actress for June herself (Brianna Denski), despite being the protagonist, is billed second-to-last. June's parents in contrast do not have that much screentime.
• Box Office Bomb: The numbers were far from terrible, but it only made $119.6 million worldwide against an $80–100 million production budget; accounting for marketing costs, that likely lost the studios and investors tens of millions.
• Celebrity Voice Actor: The Pop duo Marcus & Martinus lends the voices of Gus and Cooper in the Norwegian dub.
• Children Voicing Children: Brianna Denski voices June.
• Meaningful Release Date: Preview screenings for this movie began on March 14th, which is Pi Day. The movie itself contains a scene where children on a Math Camp bus sing a song about Pi, and it also plays over the credits.
  • And as a bonus, it had a release on DVD and Blu-ray on June 18, and June shares the same name as the protagonist.
• The Other Marty: Jeffrey Tambor was to voice Boomer the Bear, but was replaced by Ken Hudson Campbell due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
• Release Date Change: The movie was originally planned to release March 22, 2019, before being moved up in the studio schedule to July 2018. The film would slowly find its way pushed back into March 2019 after a few more date changes, which in part could have resulted from late-game production issues.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Two major players in the film, including its own director, were fired late into production over sexual misconduct allegations.
• Same Language Dub:
  • The Australian release features comedy duo Ryan Fitzgerald and Michael "Wippa" Wipfli (aka Fitzy and Wippa) as Gus and Cooper.
  • The UK release features Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee as Gus and Cooper, Tom Baker as Boomer, Eamonn Holmes as Uncle Tony and Ruth Langsford as Aunt Albertine.
• The Shelf of Movie Languishment: By all accounts, the first season of the series this movie was meant as a pilot for, Adventures in Wonder Park, was completed, and at the very least a fully-animated ad for the show was made and attached to the film's DVD and Blu-Ray release, but Nickelodeon has so far not seen fit to release it due to both the film's underperformance and the controversy that erupted during production. They haven't even dumped it on Netflix like fellow Screwed by the Network shows Pinky Malinky and Glitch Techs.
• Stillborn Franchise: The late-game hell the film endured and its disappointing box office numbers seem to have ensured that the planned television series for which this film was made as a theatrical pilot may never actually air, with this ad being the only proof of its existence.
• Uncredited Role: The film was by and large directed by Pixar alumnus Dylan Brown, but Paramount refused to credit him after a history of sexual misconduct came to light. Brown was fired so late into production that no replacement director could be credited (and several crew members who were offered the title rejected it). The result was the first wide-release animated feature since The Pebble and the Penguin to have no credited director at all.
• Working Title: Amusement Park. The name would be changed to Wonder Park a few months after Dylan Brown's removal.
