Trivia
The island on which the town of Swallow Falls (later Chewandswallow) is located corresponds to the real-life geographic location of Bermuda. This is implied at the beginning when the island is said to be under the first "A" in Atlantic, as Bermuda is the only island in the West Atlantic north of the tropics. It is later confirmed on a weather map towards the climax of the movie, when the weather storm is clearly seen to originate several hundred miles of the coast of the Carolinas. See more »Goofs
Continuity: In the scene with the "spaghetti tornado", the tornado originally rotates clockwise. The scene cuts away to something else, but when we see the tornado again it is rotating in the correct counterclockwise motion. The rotational mistake appears later again as well. See more »Quotes
