In the book, the mice were always rats, but Henry Selick wanted something more benign for their look. The jumping kangaroo mice were inspired by a visit Selick and his wife made to the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena. They sneaked a lunch in even though food was not allowed. When they opened the lunch, a kangaroo mouse appeared and tried to jump up his wife's skirt.
