Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBill Murray's character mentions a "National Chicken Wing Festival" in Buffalo, New York. While the festival did not exist during the filming of the movie, this mention caused organizers to create an annual festival in Buffalo. The festival has been held annually on Labor Day weekend since 2002.
- GoofsChill was sent into Frank as a flu vaccine. While he could have been a live, weakened virus had he been administered via LAIV (FluMist), this variety of the vaccine was not introduced until 2 years after the film was released. So Chill would have had to come from an injection, meaning he would be a dead virus.
- Crazy creditsThe title appears as bubbles, which then pop after 5 seconds.
- Alternate versionsOn some streaming services, the score plays on the soundtrack as opposed to a pop song during the opening scene.
- ConnectionsEdited into Ozzy & Drix: Home with Hector (2002)

Featured review
When you mention the title of this film to someone, they just look at you and say "What?".
Yeah, nobody went to see this film when it came out. I think it's because how do you market a film like this? Since this takes place in the human body, there's all kinds of gross out humour in it. Some of it is too much for a PG rated film.
That's my biggest problem with this film and why it wasn't marketed very well. It's gross. The scene where the nose dam breaks and a giant tidal wave of snot comes out is not what you're mean to see in a family film. Especially on the big screen. The scene where Frank vomits on the teacher and it is shown in a newspaper headline, we actually see the vomit. You don't show people vomiting in a PG film. Not only that, but it's part of the story. Making gross out gags part of the story is not a good idea.
Also, the scene where the zit is ready to pop, we get a big giant close up on it which is enough to make anyone cringe.
It's almost like Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. A show loaded with gross out humour. But that was for adults. This is meant to be a family film.
Now, the stuff I do like about it; the animation is great, it's very creative, (making the stomach the airport, the brain is city hall, the armpits are the steam room, I could go on)Laurence Fishburne was fantastic as Thrax. I kept forgetting it was him. Even if you don't like this film, you have to admit, Thrax is awesome. The music's great too. I like all the body puns as well.
Not a film for everyone, but has gained a cult following on DVD.
