    • Trivia
      Studio Ghibli sent Michael Dudok de Wit an email with two questions: if they could distribute his short film Father and Daughter (2000) in Japan, and if he would make a feature film for them. Dudok de Wit replied answering the first question and saying he did not understand the second, as he was baffled and could not believe it.
    • Quotes
      • The Son (young adult): Hey!
    • Crazy credits
      The Studio Ghibli logo is red instead of the traditional blue, to honor the title character.
