Trivia: While Centipede is on the skeleton ship, he enters into a room where the Skeleton Captain is laying on a compass, and Centipede murmurs, "A Skelington?" This was probably a reference to a previous Tim Burton character, Jack Skelington in "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The fact that the Captain greatly resembles Jack supports this theory.

Trivia: In the biblical book of Jonah, there is actually no whale that swallowed Jonah. The "whale" is a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for a big fish by the translators of the King James Version. Because of the prominence, respectability, and the wide distribution (it is in the public domain in the U.S., but not in the U.K.) of the King James translation over modern translations like the New International Version, the "whale" is what most Bible readers think of the sea creature that swallowed Jonah.

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)
