Trivia

 * The movie has script of episodes and movies:
 * Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson, and Anthony Ramos portray the five main villains of the movie, alluding to their roles in The Bad Guys (2022), where they play criminals, but unlike that film, they didn't redeem themselves. This movie marks the five actors' first time together since said movie.
 * This is the fifth time that Tom Hanks has worked with Robert Zemeckis again, the first was with Forrest Gump (1994), the second was with Cast Away (2000), the third was with The Polar Express (2004), and the fourth was with Pinocchio (2022).
 * "The Imperial March" from The Empire Strikes Back is played as Moe and Henry are introduced.
 * Matt Groening states in the DVD commentary two things that make the film's cast and crew laugh during filming:
 * Joseph Gordon-Levitt ad-libs Bart's blasphemous prayer at the dinner with Tom Riddle and he films it in one take. It was so funny that the crew was laughing during the prayer, and immediately after he finished, Gordon-Levitt and the rest of the cast also broke into uncontrollable laughter. Groening says it was fortunate he could do it in one take, as a second would have been impossible to do.
 * Groening was actually worried that people would think Stella playing "Amazing Grace" on a kazoo as the coffin containing Hagrid is lowered into a vat of acid during the Bad Guys' funeral for Peter (who they believed has died from the exploding gift they gave him) was sacrilegious, but nothing came out of it.
 * The tune was performed by Awkwafina, Stella's actress, in one take. The audio commentary states that it was fortunate that Awkwafina was able to complete the song in one take, as immediately after that, she and the remainder of the cast broke into uncontrollable laughter, and "we'd have never gotten a second take of it".
 * Stella playing the kazoo is a parody of the funeral for Mr. Spock in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
