Trivia: For the treehouse sequence, young Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood made the 30-foot climb up the tree themselves, with no safety nets or wires. However, the tree was mostly surrounded (everything outside of the camera frame) with elaborate scaffolding, sufficient to support all the camera crew and equipment, so the boys were always within arm's reach of an adult.
Question: Is this true that Mary Steenburgen was initially supposed to play Susan?
Answer: Yes. She had to drop out when production was delayed, and she was no longer available.
