The movie balances adventure with deep emotional moments.

TRIVIA SAMPLES:

"A 2'10" tall stuntman performed most of the full-body puppetry for E.T. However, the kitchen scenes were filmed using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert at walking on his hands."

"To help audiences connect more deeply with the child protagonist, Steven Spielberg shot much of the film from a child's eye level, aligning the camera perspective with that of Elliott and E.T."

"The Halloween scene where E.T. sees a child in a Yoda costume suggests that they come from the same galaxy. Interestingly, the Star Wars universe also references E.T. when E.T.'s species appears in the Senate scene of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace."
