( vote)5 Random Trivia Facts
1. This movie marked the only time cartoon characters from both Walt Disney and Warner Brothers appeared together on screen.
2. Every frame of the movie which featured a mixture of animation and live action had to be printed up as a still photograph. An animator would then draw the particular illustration for that frame on tracing paper set on top of the photo. The outline drawing then had to be hand-colored. Once that was done, the drawing had to be composited back into the original frame using an optical printer.
3. Pay close attention to Christopher Lloyd’s performance as Judge Doom. In every shot where he’s not wearing his shades, he never blinks.
4. Although the film’s title is a question, no question mark appears in the title, as this is considered bad luck in the industry.
5. Four phrases appear in both this film and Zemeckis’s previous film, Back to the Future (1985): “Didn’t hear you come in”, “You’re a sight for sore eyes”, “I’m gonna ram him”, and (referring to a piece of land) “As far as the eye can see”. The latter was said in both films by Christopher Lloyd.
