It also stars Alan Cumming as Loki, whom Odin has ordered to find the Mask. It co-stars Traylor Howard, Kal Penn, Steven Wright, Bob Hoskins as Odin, and Ryan and Liam Falconer as Tim's baby Alvey. Ben Stein makes a brief reappearance in the beginning of the film as Doctor Arthur Neuman from the original film to reestablish the relationship with the mask and Loki. The film was a critical and financial failure upon release, being panned by both critics and fans of the original for its story, lack of the original cast, and moments too inappropriate for a PG film, with many considering it one of the worst films of all time while it grossed $59.9 million against its $84–100 million budget.
