What's left behind the scenes
- After completing work on Michael Apted's drama "Gorillas in the Mist" (1988), special effects and makeup artist Rick Baker vowed never to deal with animatronics again. Baker broke his promise by creating the gorilla scene in the comedy "Baby's Day Out" (Patrick Read Johnson, 1994), after which he loudly repeated that he was finished with animatronics. When Baker was invited to work on "Mighty Joe Young", he couldn't resist – due to his love for King Kong and the original Joe Young film from 1949. This showcases the last animatronic gorilla suit created by Baker. Later, however, Baker also worked on Tim Burton's science fiction film "Planet of the Apes" (2001) starring Mark Wahlberg.
- As in most similar films from the 1990s, this film combines mechanics/electronics and computer graphics. In most scenes, Joe Young was portrayed by an actor (John Alexander) in an animatronic, radio-controlled gorilla suit created by Rick Baker and his team at Cinovation Studios. Alexander often portrayed the gorilla on set surrounded by blue screens, onto which specialists from DreamQuest Images subsequently overlaid pre-shot images of the environment. Joe Young as a child was played by Verne Troyer (1969-2018).
- On July 2, 1997, during filming in the San Fernando Valley, cinematographer Donald Peterman (1932-2011) and his assistant fell from a seven-meter height from an operator's crane. Peterman suffered a broken leg, fractured ribs, and minor head injuries, while his assistant sustained chest and back injuries. Work on the film was halted for two days, and Oliver Wood took Peterman's place. In 2000, Peterman sued the crane manufacturing company and the company that rented it to the filmmakers, and won the lawsuit, receiving $5 million.
- At the beginning of the film, sounds of gorillas can be heard. Some of these were actually made by predatory cats.
