Hugo mistakes
Continuity: When Hugo is crouched looking at the two Dachshunds, he is next to a corner, with the dogs on the hall. Yet in the close-up of the dogs, they are against the corner.
Continuity: The first time the dog tries to bite Frick, its nose is pointing in an 8 o'clock direction; then in the close-up, a frame later, it points at 9 o' clock, then it swaps to the first angle and goes back to the original 8 o' clock position.
Hugo trivia
Shortly after Hugo drops a piece of metal from the suspending clock to the ground of the train station, the Station Inspector, assuming that Claude dropped it, loudly asks him if he is 'drunk, inebriated, shikker, etc.' The work shikker is from the Hebrew word shikkor for 'drunk'. Shikker actually means drunkard.
Director Martin Scorsese cameos as Méliès' photographer when he opens his studio.
Hugo quotes
Georges Méliès: If you ever wonder where your dreams come from, look around: this is where they're made.
Isabelle: This might be an adventure, and I've never had one before - outside of books, at least.
Hugo Cabret: I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason.
