About errors

- The towers in the Desert don’t have a coloured glow.
- The manhole cover on the bridge is completely removed when Jeremy and Odd climb out.
- The buttons on Milly’s vest disappear in three shots.
- The marks under Nicolas’ eyes disappear in two shots.
- Herb’s hair is entirely black when Ulrich accepts Milly’s invitation.
- The door to Milly and Tamiya’s room changes colour in two shots (grey then green).
- After the return to the past, Milly’s t-shirt is the same colour as her skirt in two shots.
- The microphone cord on Jeremy’s computer disappears when he tells Aelita that he’s made more progress on the materialisation program.
- The factory computer microphone changes often (wired or wireless) and is in Jeremy's right ear during Odd’s transfer.
- When Jeremy makes the selection for the virtualisation, all the cards show Odd’s virtual avatar.
- Milly’s pants and boots are the same colour as her skirt during one shot in her room with Tamiya.
- Sissi’s epilator disappears in two shots from her vanity and the tissue box turns red when the shelf collapses.
- We see Emilie without her glasses when viewed from behind and in the following shot she is behind Milly and Tamiya and her glasses reappear.
- The lights at Yumi’s house are off and the door open when she and Ulrich escape the giant bear while they were already turned on, and the door handle is on the left instead of the right.
- When Sissi is putting her make-up on in her room with white cream on her face, it disappears when everything starts falling (one would assume she removed it in that time). On the other hand, when she leaves her room next to her father, she has more cream applied.
- Odd’s pants are the same shade of purple when he asks “Is something wrong, Milly?”, when he talks to the principal, when he retrieves the drawing of the bear from the rubbish bin, when Jeremy says “Always there when you least expect him,” and when Ulrich says he’ll stay at Kadic, then the colours of Odd’s pants are reversed when he enters the scanner.
- Odd’s purple hair splotch isn’t there when Nicolas and Herb cringe at the thought of taking Milly to the dance.

About references

- Teddy is a name commonly given to teddy bears.

- Odd exclaims at one point “Houston, we’ve got a problem,” in reference to the film Apollo 13 by Rob Howard in which the heroes say that phrase when faced with a problem.

- The allusion by Sissi to King Kong relates to the famous giant ape film from 1933 directed by Ernest B. Shoedsack and Merian C. Cooper, with remakes in 1976 by John Guillermin and most recently by Peter Jackson in 2005.

- Teddygozilla's name derives from the famous Godzilla, the dinosaur from the Japanese film directed by Ishiro Hondo in 1954 and remade in the US in 1998 by Roland Emmerich.
