Trivia: There was almost a sequel to E.T. that would have introduced evil aliens who had kidnapped Elliot and his efforts to reach his alien friend - Spielberg, thankfully, did not pursue it beyond a preliminary script.

Trivia: E.T.'s candy preference was born out of concerns raised by Mars, Inc. That the friendly alien was too frightful for kids and would potentially hurt sales of their M&Ms. Hershey's Reese's Pieces were then used, and sales of that candy rose upon the release of the blockbuster film.
