| Trivia | Alice's name is a nod to Alice in Wonderland, in which the main character shrinks down and goes into a tea pot. See more » |
| Goofs | When John and Alice are in the library, Alice rips a page out of the "Magical Objects and Potions" book while John is distracted. He then begins to read about some dangers of the teapot on the lower right edge of the right-side page. Turning the page he cannot keep reading because the next page had been removed. In reality, the continuation would have been on the upper-left back side of the page he turned, which was clearly full of text. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | When the opening credits are shown, it is against a background of ancient historical illustrations, each of which has at least one pot of some sort depicted. Some have several pots, and many of those also have the six-pointed star that is on the brass teapot featured in the film. See more » |
