THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• The newspaper showing the pictures of the striking Santas shows that they are protesting at the Lone Pine Mall, the same mall featured in Back To The Future, another film directed by Robert Zemeckis.
• As a tribute to long time friend Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis put in a scene where the elves talk about a bad little boy in New Jersey named Steven who is mean to his sisters. Speilberg has said in interviews that he used to terrorize his sisters, and also grew up in New Jersey.
• The main character in this film does not ever have his name revealed, he is listed in the credits only as hero boy.
• This movie was the first movie filmed using entirely digital motion capture technology. It received a nod for this in the Guinness Book Of World Records. It was also the first movie in history to have a simultaneous IMAX release.
• In the Hero Boy's room a poster from the movie BASEketball can be seen showing the Milwaukee Beers BASEketball team.
