Trivia: Steven Spielberg has a cameo as one of the doctors when Elliot and E.T. are 'hospitalized' inside the house.
Trivia: Richard Donner, the film's director, has an uncredited cameo appearance as a police officer, on the beach at the end.
Trivia: The girl who plays 'Lily at the stereo' is Rowan Atkinson's daughter, Lily.
Trivia: Pinocchio is sitting in the rafters above Flynn Ryder during the "I've Got a Dream" scene.
Trivia: Gary Glitter was meant to be in Spice World, but due to his arrest and trial over pictures that were found on his computer (he was later convicted and imprisoned), it was omitted from the finished film. A whole scene was done with him and the Spice Girls singing his hit song "Leader of the Gang (I Am)".
Trivia: At the end of the film when Scrooge is going round being nice to everyone, as he's on his way to the Cratchit's house, we see in the background a shop called "Micklewhite's". This is Michael Caine's real surname. (01:20:55)
Trivia: The Pizza Planet truck, a fixture of nearly every full-length Pixar film, can be spotted in the Witch's Hut.
Trivia: When Kevin is in Buzz's bedroom, he finds in the box a picture of Buzz's girlfriend. This is actually a picture of the art director's son dressed up to look like a girl, because the director, Chris Columbus, thought it would be too harsh to make fun of a girl like that.
Trivia: In the open-matte print, right after the credits, the support beams of the movie lot walls are visible, painted in blue to simulate the sky. In the theatrical version and the current Disney+ streaming movie's original aspect ratio (bottom picture), one can still see the beams for a split second after the postman puts the letter in the mailbox (though there's no way here to identify them as lot walls).
Trivia: Just before the Gods Speaker finds the picture of the jaguar in the book, you see a picture of someone fishing off a crescent moon: the Dreamworks logo.

Trivia: During the film's opening number, pay attention to the shot when Kenai is riding the back of the mammoth, busting through the fishing net that his brothers are holding. If you look very closely, you'll see Nemo, from Finding Nemo, right there along the flying salmon. He's only in three short frames, so it helps if you pause the DVD and go frame by frame. (00:04:45)
Trivia: There is a scene where Hercules is being painted on the side of a vase or something. Hercules is wearing a lion skin - when he throws the lion skin down, if you look carefully, you can see that the lion skin is made out of Scar, from The Lion King . (00:55:20)
