• It took 6 years to make the film.
• The impetus for creating the film was the death of Dan Scanlon's father when the future director was only one year old. He wrote the screenplay after hearing an audio recording of his father's voice.
• The worker is named Felix, which is a reference to the character of the same name from Rich Moore's animated comedy stereoscopic film 'Wreck-It Ralph' (2012).
• The calendar in Ian's room depicts a forest from the full-length computer-animated film 'Brave' (Brenda Chapman, Mark Andrews and Steve Purcell, 2012). Some geographical names on Barley's map are references to 'Brave' and the short animated film 'The Ballad of Nessie' (Kevin Dietz and Stevie Vermers, 2011).
• An advertisement for the Longbottom brand is displayed at the gas station. This brand has previously appeared in the universes of 'The Lord of the Rings' and Harry Potter.
• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this film became the first Disney movie to be available for digital download while still playing in theaters.
• As in all Pixar films, the number 'A113' is present here (though only mentioned). This is the number of the classroom where John Lasseter, Tim Burton, and Brad Bird studied at the California Institute of the Arts (a private art university).
• The cook in the tavern is Remy from the 2007 animated feature film 'Ratatouille,' while the others wear Mickey's hat from the 1940 cartoon 'Fantasia.' The Pixar lamp can even be seen on the shield. Toy frogs from Josh Cooley's 2019 animated film 'Toy Story 4' can also be spotted.
