What's left behind the scenes
- Several lines at the very beginning of the film (“O child, hasten to the land of lakes and reeds, following the beautiful fairy – for there is so much sorrow in the world that there is no other way.”) are taken from the poem “The Stolen Child” by Irish poet William Butler Yeats.
- In the bus that Ben and Sersha are traveling in, you can spot Aisling from the animated film “The Secret of Kells” (2009).
- According to director Tomm Moore, certain aspects of his childhood served as the basis for the film. The film is set in October 1987, which Moore remembers as rainy and windy, and some of the characters are modeled after members of Moore's family and pets from his memories.
- Saoirse («Saoirse») means «freedom» in Irish. And her mother Bronach («Bronach») translates from Irish as «sad».
- The drawings in Ben's book were created by Julian Erlinghauser, son of assistant director Fabian Erlinghauser.

- In Irish mythology, the selkies are a seal people, benevolent creatures with brown eyes. Seal skins allow them to live in the sea, but they must periodically surface to take a breath of air. According to some sources, selkies are descendants of people exiled to the sea for their crimes. That is why they are so drawn to land.
- In one scene where Sersha and Ben are walking around the city, a close-up shot of the Molly Malone statue can be seen, indicating that the characters are in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
- When the ferry with the boy sails away, the car is closer to the shore, but a second later, the car is shown from the other side, yet the ferry could not have turned 180 degrees in a second.
