While
Dani
(Thora
Birch)
was
a
smitten
kitten
when
it
came
to
Binx,
Birch
wasn’t
as
enamored
with
the
cat
IRL.
“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 E!
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!”

Birch,
however,
was
definitely
a
fan
of
the
actor
who
portrayed
Thackery
Binx
in
the
flesh: Sean
Murray,
who
now
stars
on
CBS’ NCIS and
has
remained
a
definitive ’90s
heartthrob
despite
only
being
in
a
couple
of
scenes. She
admitted
to
having
a
small
infatuation
during
filming,
saying, “He
was
dreamy!
He
was
cute,
definitely!”

Birch
wasn’t
the
only
young
girl
nursing
a
crush
on
set. Amanda
Shepherd (a.k.a.
Binx’s
beloved
sister
Emily) ended
up
developing
a
friendship
with Elijah
Wood after
she
snuck
off
to
explore
the
Disney
lot.
“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 Huck
Finn,” Shepherd
said. “And
then
we
became
friends
and
I
had
a
huge,
ridiculous
crush
on
him.”
