Actors and characters

Mumble's parents are named Norma-Jean and Memphis. These are references to Marilyn Monroe (Norma-Jean Baker) and Elvis Presley (who was also popularly known as "The Boy from Memphis"). The fact that Memphis sings an Elvis song in the cartoon also serves as a hint.
The film was shot almost entirely using motion capture technology: all the dances and facial expressions of the characters were generated from the initial movements of professional dancers, as well as the actors who voiced the characters.
Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman, Robin Williams (1951-2014), and Nicole Kidman sing for their characters themselves.
Mumble, voiced by Elijah Wood, has a black spot on his neck in the shape of a bow tie. It was added to make him look more like he's wearing a white tuxedo. Furthermore, the character is more reminiscent of Fred Astaire (1899-1987), and his appearance is a reference to the expression "penguin suit," which means tuxedo.
