What's left behind the scenes
- The map of New Penzance Island was created based on Fisher Island, New York.
- The film was a discovery at the 65th Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
- While Ben is talking to Sam and Suzy as they walk around the camp, a Boy Scout marching in the background can be seen waving at the camera.
- This is Wes Anderson's first film shot in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio since 'Bottle Rocket' (1995), and also the first he has shot on 16mm film.
- Before filming, neither Kara Hayward nor Jared Gilman had ever seen a typewriter in person. Hayward later said: "Fran (Frances McDormand) was very amused by this machine. She couldn't believe it. She showed me that the keys are arranged the same way as they are now (on a computer)."
- The film premiered in only 4 cinemas, two in New York and two in Los Angeles, but still grossed $167,250 per screening, setting a record for box office revenue per theater for a feature film.
- According to Wes Anderson, the fact that Suzy found a pamphlet titled “Dealing with a Difficult Child” was based on a similar example from his childhood: “There was nothing terrible about it. The only thing was, when I found it, I was very surprised. And I immediately understood who that difficult child was, although hypothetically it could have been someone else.”
- In the film, Laura Bishop (Frances McDormand) shouts at various family members through a megaphone. The idea came from the childhood of screenwriter Roman Coppola. His mother, Eleanor, used a megaphone in a similar way.
- During filming, Wes Anderson rented an old mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, for himself, editor Andrew Weisblum, and cinematographer Robert D. Yeoman, in which they had a room equipped for editing the film. The actors were housed in a nearby hotel, but eventually some of them decided to move into the mansion, including Edward Norton, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwartzman. Murray later joked that the idea was to have everyone on hand so they could all work from early in the morning.
- An abandoned Linens 'n Things store outside of Newport, Rhode Island, was used as a sound recording pavilion for the film.
- The earrings Sam gives to Suzy are made from iridescent greenish-blue beetles called Jewel Beetles. They are found throughout North America and inhabit humid, wooded areas.
- Most of Wes Anderson’s classmates who were scouts were in ‘Troop 55’.
- To find a filming location, the film's director used Google Earth due to a crisis of ideas.
- The interior of Suzy’s house, as well as many of the buildings in the film, were taken from the natural landmark ‘Thousand Islands’.
- The wrecked Volkswagen Beetle from 1971 or 1972 shown near the end of the film, despite the movie being set in 1965.
- When Sam and Suzy play Françoise Hardy's record on the beach, a Capitol Records building is visible. However, Françoise's recordings from the time of “Le temps de l`amour” were released by Vogue.
- When Sam and Suzy listen to Françoise Hardy's record on the beach, the record she shows Sam – “The «Yeh-Yeh» Girl From Paris!” – was released in 1966 by Four Corners Records. This was the American version of Françoise Hardy’s first album, released in France in 1962 on the Vogue label. The film’s events take place in 1965, so the Vogue version should have been shown.
- 1960s camping equipment does not include fluorescent lanterns or nylon tents, especially self-supporting models on flexible poles.
- A 1968 Dodge sometimes appears as the island police car, and sometimes a 1969 Dodge. The film is set in 1965.
- A Quantum Sails logo is visible on the sail of the sailboat. Quantum was founded only in 1996.
- When the 'Command Tent' is flooded at the Lebanon camp, and lightning strikes a nearby pole, the equipment used to tilt it is clearly visible at the base of the pole.
- This is the first Wes Anderson film shot in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio since 'Bottle Rocket' (1995), and also the first he has shot on 16mm film.
- Prior to filming, neither Kara Hayward nor Jared Gilman had ever seen a typewriter in person. Hayward later said: "Fran (Frances McDormand) was very amused by this machine. She couldn't believe it. She pointed out to me that the keys are arranged the same way as they are now (on a computer)."
- According to Wes Anderson, the fact that Suzy found a pamphlet titled 'Dealing with a Difficult Child' was based on a similar instance from his childhood: "There was nothing frightening about it.

- Most of Wes Anderson's classmates who were scouts were in 'Troop 55'.
