  • Fake Nationality: The French characters are played by Australian and British actors, and an Argentinian character is played by a Polish actor.
  • Non-Singing Voice: Averted for everyone (including Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman) who performed their own singing, except Jim Broadbent and John Leguizamo.
  • Sleeper Hit: Made a modest $50 million at the box office (maybe not-so-modest considering the musical genre was sagging), but became an even bigger hit on DVD via word-of-mouth.
  • What Could Have Been: Originally Kylie Minogue's Fairy role was going to be portrayed by Ozzy Osbourne. The warped roar her voice turns into is all him.
    • Tim Wheeler from Irish band Ash auditioned for the part of Christian.
