The film stars Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Daniels, Daryl Hannah, Elizabeth Hurley, Wallace Shawn, and Wayne Knight. A Mickey Mouse Works short, Pluto Gets the Paper: Spaceship, was shown in theaters with it. My Favorite Martian was released in the United States on February 12, 1999 by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution under its Walt Disney Pictures label.
