What's left behind the scenes

Sinbad made up a significant portion of his lines on the spot. Arnold Schwarzenegger also often improvised in dialogues with Sinbad's character.
The plot is based on the fashion for Cabbage Patch dolls in the 1980s. A similar situation occurred before Christmas in 1996, when talking Elmo dolls (a character from "Sesame Street") were incredibly popular.
In March 2001, a court in Birmingham, Michigan, ruled that 20th Century Fox had stolen the screenplay idea from Brian Wester, a biology teacher from Detroit. The film company was fined $19 million, although the amount was soon reduced to $1.5 million. Webster submitted a screenplay titled "Or Maybe It's Christmas?" to the film company in 1994, but received neither payment for it nor credit in the film's credits. The film company appealed, claiming that it had received Webster's screenplay only after it had obtained a brief overview of it, which was then reworked into the final screenplay, after which the verdict was revised.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's agent suggested casting Sinbad in the role, but the producers believed he would be unconvincing as the villain, as he had long been associated with positive characters from family comedies. Sinbad himself claimed that his character would evoke sympathy rather than hatred from the audience. Moreover, he didn't even attend the audition with everyone else, as he was with politician Hillary Clinton and singer Sheryl Crow in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Chris Columbus specifically waited for his return and organized new auditions, and the role was given to Sinbad, although he himself thought he had "blown" the audition.
