Trivia: Jodi Benson, who voiced Ariel in the 1989 animated movie "The Little Mermaid", appears in the live-action film as a marketplace vendor who offers Ariel a plate of food and a fork. In a reference to the original film, Ariel uses the fork to comb her hair. (01:20:30)
Trivia: In the open-matte print, right after the credits, the support beams of the movie lot walls are visible, painted in blue to simulate the sky. In the theatrical version and the current Disney+ streaming movie's original aspect ratio (bottom picture), one can still see the beams for a split second after the postman puts the letter in the mailbox (though there's no way here to identify them as lot walls).
Trivia: A full-size replica of the Vulcan bomber was placed in Bahamian waters and then blown up after filming to prevent unauthorized reuse. The remains of the set were left in place, and over time the framework became an artificial reef. Today, the wreck is a well-known dive site in the Bahamas, attracting scuba divers as both a film curiosity and marine habitat.
Trivia: Dave is a character from the Welcome Back Frank comics and has facial piercings in that issue. To be more comic accurate, actor Ben Foster got his face actually pierced IRL before filming his part. Some serious dedication to the role.
Trivia: Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance as a librarian at Parker's school wearing large headphones, unaware that Spider-Man and the Lizard are battling at the library behind him. (01:37:25)
Trivia: This is only on the DVD. As Hoggle walks off saying "There's one thing for sure, she'll never get through the labyrinth" look at the top left corner of the screen and you'll see the face of Jareth (David Bowie.) You see his face again, when Sarah and friends are walking through the forest, and Sir Didymus says "We should reach the castle well before day." Look at a tree to the right of the screen and you'll see the face.
Trivia: Stephenie Meyer makes a brief cameo appearance at Bella and Edward's wedding. She is the author of the Twilight books.

Trivia: If you look closely in one of the shots looking at the musician's pad you can see Hitchcock making a cameo like he does in all his movies. If you pay attention however, you might notice that this is a reenactment of a scene from one of his other movies, 'Rope.' Also, Hitchcock is standing in for James Stewart and the character he played in 'Rope' since Mr. Stewart is busy spying on this scene. (00:26:15)
Trivia: A subtle reference to this film's 3D format: In Max's box, Trevor finds a pocket stereoscope, which are funky looking glasses that create the illusion of a three-dimensional image from two-dimensional photographs. It was invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1840.
Trivia: Numerous references to other Tim Burton films: a) The dress Katrina Anne Van Tassel wears at the end is similar to Beetlejuice's outfit. b) Crane has various sharp scissor-like tools, which is a reference to Johnny Depp's early film "Edward Scissorhands" (1989). c) The scarecrow at the beginning looks exactly like Jack from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1994). d) The covered bridge is a lot like the bridge in "Beetlejuice."
Trivia: Most of the scenes of the greenhouse in Iceland were filmed at The Eden Project in Cornwall, including the shots of James Bond zipping up the rope, and running down the side of the building. The opening shots of the beach in Korea were also filmed in Cornwall, at Holywell bay. (01:16:20)
