details

• The costume design is so detailed that the initials "M.L." (Mary Lennox) can be seen embroidered on Mary's stockings for the split second they appear on-screen, while Mary's Ayah is dressing her at the beginning of the film.
  
  
• The corridor leading to Colin's room and the interior of the room are decorated with tapestries depicting Edward VI, a sickly boy king who died young at the age of 16.
  
  
• John Lynch was cast at the eleventh hour after the actor who was originally cast as Lord Craven pulled out.
  
  

• The tapestries in Mary's room comprise a cycle known as "The Hunt for the Unicorn". In this cycle, the Unicorn is lured from the wild and into a new life by a young virgin, foreshadowing Mary's role in the story.
  
  
• Elijah Wood was turned down for the role of Colin.
