4. While Dani (Thora Birch<\/strong>) was a smitten kitten when it came to Binx, Birch wasn’t as enamored with the cat IRL.<\/p>\n

“There were seven different live cats, two different animatronic ones and something that didn’t even exist, it was like an X on a lamppost and they were like, ‘There’s Binx!'” Birch\u00a0E! News. “I never knew exactly what I was coming into it, and truth be told, don’t let anyone know, I’m not a cat person!”<\/p>\n

5. Birch, however, was definitely a fan of the actor who portrayed Thackery Binx in the flesh:\u00a0<\/strong>Sean Murray<\/strong>, who now stars on CBS’\u00a0NCIS\u00a0and has remained a definitive ’90s heartthrob despite only being in a couple of scenes.\u00a0She admitted to having a small infatuation during filming, saying, “He was dreamy! He was cute, definitely!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. Birch wasn’t the only young girl nursing a crush on set.\u00a0Amanda Shepherd<\/strong>\u00a0(a.k.a. Binx’s beloved sister Emily)\u00a0ended up developing a friendship with\u00a0Elijah Wood<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>after she snuck off to explore the Disney lot.<\/p>\n

“So all of sudden these boys were playing basketball, and I’m like, ‘I don’t know how to play basketball,’ and right away I saw Elijah Wood and had an instant girl crush on him, because I think at the time he was shooting\u00a0Huck Finn,”\u00a0Shepherd said. “And then we became friends and I had a huge, ridiculous crush on him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
