Line 23:
* [[Sleeper Hit]]: When the film came out, stop-motion animation was considered dead and the film was expected to die a quick death at the box office against ''[[Pink Panther]] 2'' and the ''[[My Bloody Valentine (film)|My Bloody Valentine]]'' remake. After a better than expected opening, the film kept on going until finally becoming the highest-grossing stop-motion animated film of all-time.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: For Laika Animation themselves, whose success with the film lead to closing their CG Features division in favor of a stop motion division.
* [[Throw It In]]: The scene with Other Spink and Other Forcible was originally meant to have a song written by [[They Might Be Giants]] (as was a lot of the rest of the film, but that's another matter). After hearing the placeholder song the writers had come up with, John and John said it was good enough and there was no reason to replace it.▼
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The movie was originally planned as a musical with 10 songs written by [[They Might Be Giants]], but this idea was discarded in favor of a more conventional movie, although one of their songs (the Other Father's number) does remain in the film, and the band has said they will release the other songs written for the movie on other projects ("Careful What You Pack", for example, wound up on their 2007 album ''The Else'').
** The film at one point had plans to use CGI for the Other World segments, and Normal Claymation for the Real World segments.
