Did you know

• Although critics and audiences disliked it for being too gross and childish, the scene in which Gulliver saves the King from the fire in the palace by putting it out with urine is actually taken directly from Jonathan Swift's book. However, in the original novel, the person rescued in this manner is the Queen. The only other adaptation to include this scene is Gulliver's Travels (1996).

• In the harbor containing all of the pun-named boats, the one to the far right is called Swift Passage, an allusion to Jonathan Swift, the author of the book upon which this movie was loosely based.

• Emily Blunt was originally cast as Black Widow in Iron Man 2 (2010), but had to drop out due to her commitment to this film. In a May 11, 2021 appearance on The Howard Stern Show (radio), Blunt told Howard Stern that she was forced by contractual obligation to appear, because of a two-picture deal with Fox when she starred in The Devil Wears Prada (2006).
