Trivia: This modern version of "Oliver Twist" has an interesting twist to it: He is a traceur or parkourist (in addition to other things, such as a graffiti artist). The scenes that include roof topping, scaling walls, and traversing obstacles are worth watching.
Trivia: Stephanie Beatriz plays lead character Mirabel in this movie. She was originally going to play the role of Luisa, but the producers cast her as Mirabel after they found out she was nothing like her signature role of Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Trivia: In one if the opening scenes, a warrior at the camp fire sings a few lines of the medieval ballad 'La Blanche Biche': "Je suis fille le jour, et la nuit blanche biche. La chasse est après mois, des barons et des princes". "I am a girl at day, and at night, a white hind; the chase of the barons and princes is after me". Which is what the movie is all about.
Trivia: Will Smith won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in the film. However, his award was overshadowed by an altercation with Chris Rock earlier in the evening, which saw Smith slap Rock in the face after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith (which Will initially laughed at). As a result, Smith was given a 10-year ban from the Oscars ceremony, and also lost consideration for upcoming film roles.
