    • Trivia
      Whenever this film was shot on location, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and the crew would clean the area of debris, grime, trash and graffiti, so that the real settings would match the fantastic nature of the film. This was an especially difficult task when it came time to shoot at the huge train station.
    • Goofs
      When Nino visits Amélie in the cafe, "Menu du Jour" disappears and reappears on the glass between shots.
    • Quotes

      Hipolito, The Writer: Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

    • Crazy credits
