Line 20:
* [[Network to the Rescue]]: Initially, no studio showed interest in the film. Then producer Bill Mechanic (who also believed in [[James Cameron]] and ''[[Titanic]]'' at Fox) showed interest and jumped on as a financier, which got the film made and a distributor in Universal. The movie became a [[Sleeper Hit]], director Henry Selick got a deal at [[Pixar]] and the animation studio now works full-time with Universal.
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: The Other Father is voiced by [[They Might Be Giants|John Linnell]] for about 30 seconds in a [[Ear Worm|frustratingly catchy]] song. For the rest of the time, he's [[Complete World Knowledge|John Hodgman]].
* [[The Red Stapler]]: The Detroit Zoo fountain snowglobe was eventually produced as an actual zoo souvenir after the film was released.
* [[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.
* [[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'').
