Film
871: Ted
Trivia: First
live-action project directed by Seth MacFarlane.
Various
teddy bears were used as stand-ins for post-production editing. Ted's movements
were done by Seth MacFarlane through motion
capture.
At one
point in the movie, Ted mentions 9/11. 'Mark Wahlberg' and Seth MacFarlane both narrowly missed being on the planes
that hit the World Trade Center. Wahlberg was booked on American Airlines
Flight 11 but decided to drive up to New York and fly to California later.
McFarlane was scheduled on the same flight but arrived to gate ten minutes late
and was unable to board. He was sitting in the airport when he saw that his
plane had hit the North Tower of the World trade center.
Near the
end of the movie, when Lori looks outside the window and up to the stars, you
can see the constellation Ursa Minor, which means Little Bear, in the upper
left corner.
Several
of the main voice cast of Family Guy had parts in this movie. 'Seth McFarlane'
voiced Ted (as well as wrote and directed the film) voices Peter, Stewie, and
Brian. Alex Borstein, who plays John's mom,
provides the voice for Lois. Mila Kunis,
who plays Lori, is the voice of Meg. The only main Griffin family member not to
appear in the film is Seth Green who
voices Chris. Other Family Guy regulars that appear in Ted include Patrick
Warburton, Patrick Stewart, and Ralph Garman.
