    • Trivia
      The train station where young Nemo had to choose between staying with his mother or his father is named "Chance."
    • Goofs
      Nemo says the angel missed him and that is why he can "remember" the future, but he has the philtrum (depression between nose and upper lip) that only the angel's touch would have given him.
    • Quotes

      Nemo Nobody aged 118: Every path is the right path. Everything could've been anything else. And it would have just as much meaning.

    • Crazy credits
      During the opening credits, before the music starts, some letters move out of their position in a credit to different positions in the next credit.
    • Alternate versions
      The currently available DVD version runs for 141 min, while the Toronto International Film Festival version runs for 138 min.
    • Connections
      Featured in Vecherinka '1 noyabrya': Po Stranitsam detskih skazok. 2010 god. (2010)

    Mind-blowing
    This beautiful surreal movie is full of memorable lines that will make you reconsider your outlook on life, but this one is my favorite:

    "At my age, the candles cost more than the cake. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid I haven't been alive enough. It should be written on every schoolroom blackboard: Life is a playground - or nothing."
