What's left behind the scenes
- Notably, Brian's sister is named Margot, just like Gwyneth Paltrow's character.
- The biography of Etheline Tenenbaum (Angelica Huston) incorporates some facts from Anderson's mother's life, who became an archaeologist after divorcing his father.
- The glasses worn by Huston's character in the film belonged to Anderson's mother.
- The character played by Danny Glover bears a strong resemblance to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Anderson decided to achieve this likeness after Glover, personally acquainted with Annan, introduced him to Anderson at an event.
- The role of Royal Tenenbaum was written specifically for Gene Hackman by Anderson.
- Two different hawks "play" Mordechai. The first was kidnapped by some ill-wishers during filming to demand a ransom. The filmmakers, unable to wait for their "actor's" return, began filming another hawk, which, as is easy to see, has considerably more white feathers than its counterpart.
- J.D. Salinger's "Glass Family" cycle features a character named Bubba Tenenbaum (Beatrice Glass née Tenenbaum), and the "Tenenbaum Family" itself is practically a prototype for the Glass family, with equally gifted and numerous children.
- The hero of Owen Wilson arrives at a wedding with Native American face paint. In the film "Zoolander" (2001), Wilson’s face in a photograph looks exactly the same.
- The episode in which Margot loses a finger was originally written for the character of Margaret Yang from Wes Anderson’s previous film, "Rushmore".
- Anderson said that he read in the book "From the Notebooks of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" by Konigsburg how the book’s heroes Claudia and Jamie ran away and lived in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and this inspired him to use it in the script.
- The surname of the main characters was borrowed by the screenwriters Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson from their college friend Brian Tenenbaum, who played one of the paramedics in the film.
- J.D. Salinger’s "Glass Family" series features a character named Bubba Tenenbaum (Beatrice Glass, née Tenenbaum), and the "Tenenbaum Family" itself is practically a prototype of the Glass family, with similarly gifted and numerous children.
- Owen Wilson's character attends a wedding with Native American face paint. In the film "Zoolander" (2001), Wilson’s face in a photograph looks exactly the same.
- The scene in which Margot loses a finger was originally written for Margaret Yang's character from Wes Anderson's previous film, "Rushmore".
- Anderson said he read in the book “From the Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the Most Mysterious in the World” by Konigsburg how the book's characters Claudia and Jamie ran away and lived in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which inspired him to use this in the script.
