- "Flying House" is Pixar's second film with humans as the protagonist after "The Incredibles" and is designated as a PG-level film.
- "Flying House" is a cartoon produced by Pixar. Since "Finding Nemo" in 2003, it is the first non-2.40:1 aspect ratio movie.
- In the music film made by Mike Giachino, "Flying House" is the first non-Brad Bird directed film, and the previous work was a collaboration between the two.
- "The Flying House" is the first animated film in the history of the Cannes Film Festival and the first 3D film as the opening film.
- Director Peter Dougert referred to the following works when creating this film: "The Frog Camite Muppet Show"; Hayao Miyazaki's animations such as "Nausicaa", "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke" "Etc.; Disney’s early animations such as "Dumbo", "Little Pan", "The Wizard of Oz", etc. In fact, "The Wizard of Oz" has the deepest influence on the entire creative team, and it took a lot of effort to make the film less like "The Wizard of Oz".
- When Russell and Carl talk about family in the movie, they refer to the dialogue of the 1970 TV series "The Mary Taylor Moore Show." This play tells the story of urban women, and is also the enlightenment of films such as "Sex and the City" and "Desperate Housewives".
- The role of Russell is the first time that Pixar has used an Asian voice actor. He is the Japanese-American mixed-race Jordan Nagai.
- At the beginning of the film, Karl woke up slowly. There were several medicine bottles beside his bed. One of them had "Luxo" written on it. This was actually the name of the jumping lamp at the beginning of Pixar's film.
- Although the fairyland waterfall that appears in the film does not exist in reality, in fact, the main creation of the film is based on the highest waterfall in the world, namely Angel Falls in Venezuela.
- When Carl was watching TV and Russell knocked on the door, he was watching the home shopping channel.
- The shape of Doug's "dots" is very interesting, its entire tail, back and head are in a straight line. And his posture is similar to the pet dog Pluto in the Disney animation "Mickey Mouse", in addition, Doug's coat color is also borrowed from Pluto.
- Following the tradition of John Ratzenberger dubbing a character in every Pixar film, this time John Ratzenberger dubbed a worker who was fighting with Karl.
- In some theaters, a specially produced short film "The Violent Cloud and the Stork with Children" was screened before the feature film was shown.
- When Carl's house was first lifted into the sky, the small ball from "Naughty Jumping Light" and the pizza planet truck from "Toy Story" appeared in the home of a little girl on the ground watching the room rise. And "A113" also appeared as the code name of the court. This number is actually the studio number of the director of Pixar when he was working at the California Academy of Art. These three elements appear in almost every Pixar film.
- In Charles Mutz's dog team, except for Doug, the rest of the dogs are named after the Greek alphabet.
- The numbers on Carl's alarm clock are in Chicago font-this is set by Pixar to commemorate Apple, because the first font used by Apple computers is the Chicago font.
- The pilot puppies that appeared in the film talked about the same broadcasts as they appeared in "Star Wars", but the "red squadron" became the "gray squadron", which means that the dog is color blind.
- Carl's image is a blend of two actors, Spencer Tracy and Walter Matthew, as well as the image of ordinary grandfathers commonly seen on the street.
- Fenton's Ice Creamery, which appeared at the end of the movie, does exist in reality. Both factories are in California and both are close to Pixar’s Emeryville headquarters. For such a large advertisement, Disney and Pixar did not ask for any return.
