Voice Cast
Production
On August 8, 2006, Mainframe Entertainment announced The Weinstein Company acquired the rights to produce an animated version of The Nutty Professor, which was distributed direct-to-video by Genius Products Inc.
The Nutty Professor was produced under the working title The Nutty Professor 2: Facing the Fear. There is still some resemblance of the former title in the film. It was made 45 years after the original film and this sequel represents the longest gap in motion picture history for a sequel in which the original star reprises his same role. There are several references to the original film including the place where Zeke and Ned perform is called "The Pit". In the original film the nightclub is called "the Purple Pit". In addition, Jack (referring to pizza instead of his hand) paraphrases Buddy Love and says to Polly, "Want some?" Among the cast is Danielle Lewis, the daughter of Jerry Lewis, who cameos as the voice of Harold's neighbor, Suzy Perkins.
This is one of the few times that a film and its sequel have the same title.
