Line 21:
* [[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.
* [[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.
* [[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'').
