Trivia: When Keith Richards is looking up the rule in the pirate code book, the skull ring on his finger is not a prop; he has worn it since receiving it for his birthday in 1978 from a famous London goldsmith, who used a real skull when modelling the design.

Trivia: Near the beginning, when Remy is in the sewers and begins to make his way up to the skyline of Paris, he is startled by a barking dog in one of the apartments. If you pause and look at the silhouette of the dog, it greatly resembles Dug the dog, from the 2009 Disney/Pixar release Up - another precursory nod to an upcoming movie by Pixar. (00:16:35)
Trivia: Kevin Lima, the director of Enchanted, is also the squeaky voice of Pip in NYC. Paige O'Hara, who is the voice of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Danny Mastrogiorgio, who is the voice of Ram #2 in Brother Bear, appear as the couple on TV in the soap opera that Edward and Nathaniel watch on "the magic mirror." Also note that as soon as Edward clicks the remote to the soap's channel we hear a few bars of Beauty and the Beast's theme music. Then later while Edward searches for Giselle in the apartment building, Judy Kuhn, who is the singing voice of Pocahontas, appears as the pregnant mom with 3 kids who opens the door and tells the prince, "You're too late!"
Trivia: During the scene where Lyra and Mrs. Coulter are in the zeppelin and we see shots over the city, The Swiss Re building, more commonly known as the Gherkin, can be seen. It is in the mid ground to the far right of the screen during one of the first shots of the city.

Trivia: After Queen Lilly is dazed after banging the rocks with head to get them out of prison, she hums the first few bars of "A spoon full of Sugar." After Fiona asks if she's alright, she hums a few lines from "My favorite things," both songs made famous by Lilly's voice, Julie Andrews.

Trivia: In the DVD commentary, Director Joe Wright reveals a lucky fluke that got caught on camera during the scene just before Robbie (James McAvoy) discovers the school girls massacre.

Trivia: Kate Nelligan plays Sandra Bullock's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only 14 years older than Bullock.
Suggested correction: Google her age and you will see this is incorrect.
Or you could have just submitted a word change pointing out the age difference is 14 years rather than 13. Hardly makes the entry wholly incorrect.
