Other mistake: Judging the angle Teetsi leaps towards Alex at, there is no way that he would hit him in the eye.
Other mistake: When the plane is crashing the two parachutes are deployed at the front of the plane yet the plane remains level when landing.
Trivia: Bernie Mac died before the film was released to the general public, the film was released posthumously in 2008 with a tribute message to Bernie in the end credits.
Question: During the credits, in the voices category, there are two actors listed for the voice of Baby Alex. Why were two actors needed?
Answer: It could be kind of like the thing from the "Wimpy Kid" movies, but with voice acting. The voice actors could be infants or toddlers, which don't behave well. So the filmmakers have two of them (It doesn't have to be twins since they're doing voice acting) that way they can swap out one with the other.

Chosen answer: There's two reasons. Firstly, infants are only allowed to work for short periods of time, hence why when you see babies onscreen that are heavily featured, invariably twins are used to alternate to not fall foul of the rules. Secondly, it may be that one of the voices didn't give the filmakers as much diverse dialogue as they needed so they brought in another actor to get the rest they needed.
