Just Friends picture

Trivia: In the credits the song "Forgiveness" plays, but sometimes in the song you hear three Beatles effects, like the way she says "Time, time, time" 6 times and ends with a cat noise. That is kind of like in the middle of "Hey Jude" where instead of "Time" the word is "Better" and they end with a scream. And after the cat noise, you hear a "Ha Ha Ha" like the song "I am The Walrus," and at the very end there is a build-up of orchestra followed by an ending note that holds to fade like the song "A Day in the Life."

The Eye 3 picture

Because of Winn-Dixie picture

Trivia: AnnaSophia Robb ("Opal") has a remarkable and even uncanny resemblance to Dakota Fanning. Agewise, their dates of birth are less than three months apart. Dakota is not in "Because of Winn-Dixie", but her younger sister Elle is. Dakota and Elle have acted in the same movie (e.g, Elle played a younger version of Dakota in "I Am Sam"). Perhaps Dakota had a prior commitment/contract filming "The Door In The Floor" (2004) so could not sign a contract to star in "Because of Winn-Dixie" (2005) with filming starting in 2003.
