Plays a key role in the Brian Selznick children's novel ''The Invention of Hugo Cabret'' and its Creator/MartinScorsese-directed film adaptation ''Film/{{Hugo}}''. The movie also served as the main inspiration for the music video of [[Music/MellonCollieAndTheInfiniteSadness "Tonight, Tonight"]] by Music/TheSmashingPumpkins. The story of the film's production was also used in the final episode of ''Series/FromTheEarthToTheMoon'' as a contrast to the parallel story of the final Apollo flight, the only one to have actual scientists.

* AwesomeButImpractical:
** The film was coloured by ''handpainting each frame of the film''. This was a few years before tinting became possible and over a decade before the earliest technicolor processes.
** The scene where the ship approaches the moon was filmed by mounting the oversized moon prop on railings and sliding it towards the camera. Why not do the smart thing and just move the camera? Because the technology was new and the people involved were still transitioning from theater performance and theater thinking. The camera was seen as a stand-in for the audience, and who would be insane enough to move the audience around while the props sit still?
