(at around 37 mins) In one scene, the Tooth Fairy finds a mouse beneath a pillow and identifies it as "one of us, European division." Ratoncito (Little Mouse) Pérez, or "The Tooth Mouse", is a children's book character created by Spanish author Luis Coloma in 1894 said to replace lost baby teeth with gifts in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Latin America. In the Spanish dub of the movie, it is even called "Pérez". In Austria it is simply called the "Zahnmauserl" or "Zahnmäuschen" (Tiny Tooth Mouse).

(at around 1h 28 mins) A post-film dedication appears, "For Mary Katherine Joyce. A Guardian fierce and true." This refers to William Joyce's daughter, who died at age 18 from a brain tumor. The movie was based on Joyce's book series "Guardians of Childhood", which was inspired by stories he told his daughter. MK, the main protagonist in Epic (2013), is based on her.
