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 film was produced under the working title The Nutty Professor 2: Facing the Fear.

There are several homages to the original film, including the place where Zeke and Ned perform, called "The Pit." In the original film, the nightclub is called "The Purple Pit". While under his Buddy Love alias, Julius compares Harold's School life to a 63 Cutlass Supreme, the 63 is a reference to the year 1963 in which the original film was released.
