- The protagonist Norman has a total of 8,800 faces with different expressions and matching eyebrows and mouths. This means that the different combinations of these faces, eyebrows, and mouth can produce 1.5 million independent and different expressions for Norman.
- In Norman's iconic hair, there are a total of 275 steel nails. The materials used to make Norman hair include wool, hot glue, super glue, animal fur and hair gel.
- Norman encountered the whispering ghost scene in the bathroom, and it took the crew a year to complete the filming.
- The T-shirt that Norman wore was tailor-made for Norman, and it took 102 stitches to sew it out. Among them, 48 stitches were sewn on the neckline.
- Chris Butler really wanted to make a movie of his own style, so he created the script of "The Psychic Boy Norman". This script is very short, only 30 pages, with a lot of stylized shots and scenes. When making "Mother Ghost", Chris Butler took out the script, and everyone in the company liked it very much, so he decided to collaborate with Sam Phil to produce the film.

It's a bit caoraline, but it's too preachy, the plot is too patchwork, the witch at the end is really unsatisfactory, but the end credits are the best, completely 70's and 80's horror movie style!

I really liked the first half, the graphics and character settings are very good. The back starts to go downhill, top-heavy!

Aggie: Aggie... My name was Aggie... I - I remember... My mommy brought me here once. We sat under the tree and she told me stories. They all had happy endings. Then those horrible men came and took me away and I never saw her again!
Norman Babcock: Sometimes when people get scared, they say and do terrible things. I think you got so scared that you forgot who you are. But I don't think you're a witch. Not really.
Aggie: You don't?
Norman Babcock: I think you're just a little kid with a really special gift who only ever wanted people to understand her. So we're not all that different at all.
Aggie: But what about the people who hurt you? Don't you ever want to make them suffer?
Norman Babcock: Well, yeah, but what good would that do? You think just because there's bad people that there's no good ones either? I thought the same thing for a while. But there's always someone out there for you. Somewhere.
Aggie: I just want my mommy.
Norman Babcock: I'm sorry, Aggie. She's gone.
Aggie: That story you were telling. How does it end?
Norman Babcock: I think that's up to you.
Aggie: Is this where they buried me?
Norman Babcock: It's a pretty good place to sleep. Then you can be with your mom again.

Neil: So what do we do now?
Norman Babcock: Uhh... I... I - I really don't know.
Courtney: Yes you do, Norman. You've gotta get to that witch's grave.
Norman Babcock: But...
Courtney: But nothing, you listen to me, buster. We didn't turn away when Daleridge High was slaughtering our volleyball team, did we?
Norman Babcock: Yeah, we did.
Courtney: No, we didn't. I have cheered the un-cheerable, Norman. And I'm not letting you give up now.
