Goofs:
Factual Mistake
The song used in the film, "This Is Not A Love Song" by Public Image Ltd., came out in 1983, even though the war and the massacres depicted in the film happened in 1982.

Character Error
The narrator refers to the transport helicopter as a "Hercules helicopter", which is a confusion of the C-130 Hercules cargo plane with the CH-53 Stallion helicopter, the latter being the true transportation device.

Factual Mistake
In the Netherlands, Carmi drives a car with a white license plate. In the Netherlands however, license plates happens to be yellow.

Revealing Mistakes
When Ori grabs a cup on his kitchen table, his thumb goes straight through instead of clasping around it (error in animation).
Trivia:
Artist David Polonsky is right handed, but did most of the illustration for this film with his left hand, as he felt that his original drawing were 'too pretty.'

The first animated film to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.

Contrary to common perception, there is no rotoscope work in this film. The production team did shoot live action footage, but this was then used as references for the film's storyboards. The storyboards were then redrawn as digital paintings, which were manipulated with Flash animation.

The film took four years to complete.
