Interesting facts

  • Budget: $34M

Eight Crazy Nights is a 2002 American adult animated musical comedy film starring, co-written and produced by Adam Sandler. Directed by Seth Kearsley, the supporting cast includes Sandler's future wife Jackie Titone, Austin Stout, Rob Schneider, Kevin Nealon, Norm Crosby and Jon Lovitz. Set around Hanukkah, the film centers on Davey Stone, a troubled Jewish alcoholic who is sentenced to community service with the aid of an aging referee in an attempt at rehabilitation.

Production

Eight Crazy Nights was animated primarily by Meatball Animation. Prior to production, during a transitional period from the focus of 2D to 3D animation in Hollywood, several traditional animation studios closed down, with many animators who were laid off being hired by Meatball; allegedly, employees at Meatball were largely those formerly employed at Fox Animation Studios and Warner Bros. Feature Animation.

Kearsley revealed in an email to Doug Walker that certain elements of the film that were notorious, specifically the feces-eating deer scene and even Whitey's voice (which was originally more high-pitched and annoying), were intended to be cut, but were kept due to "focus groups" who had seen the film (who lowered Whitey's voice), as well as the fact that the product placements were used without permission.
