• It took 2400 teaspoons of lubricant to create the ocean when Max imagines himself on a desert island.
• One tombstone over from Ruby's reads "R.I.P. Adam Elliot," the writer/director of the film. His epitaph: "very over-rated." (In addition, the names of producer Melanie Coombs, assistant director Jemima Daly, camera assistant Scott Venner, and cinematographer Gerald Thompson are visible on other stones.)
• This is the very first animated film to open for the Sundance Film Festival.
