When they are traveling through the numbers mine, Milo says "Golly! And I used to think that numbers weren't important or valuable." The Mathemagician responds with " Not important! Not valuable! By the 4,827,659 hairs on my head, I'll tell you what's important! " The average head has between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs. Far below the amount the Mathemagician stated. See more »

Crazy Credits
The opening credits, set immediately after the prologue, revolves around Milo (Butch Patrick) walking from school into various places before he heads home. The text is white, upper-cased and hand-written, while the title itself is purple and in two lines, with the "THE" at the top-left position. See more »
Growing up I thought the movie was fascinating (HELLO! He goes into another WORLD that is CARTOON!). The songs are awesome too, and the whole film is a mystery. Now that I am older I am noticing how very clever the movie is too, including the use of language (you'd have to see it to understand). I also find a bit creepy now that I'm older, it gives me the willies. May it's the old animation, I don't know, but some of the scenes are really scary! It's a good show, watch it with a ten year old...and enjoy! You could also watch it with a 7-11 year old too. Like I said, it's a great show for kids. Especially if they're at that age where they want to be a little creeped out.
