* HowWeGotHere: The opening credits sequence features a procession of men and a cart we never see quite clearly (either from a distance or in silhouette) from the POV of assorted animals. The men march along a dirt road through the open countryside towards a distant city on a seashore. Much later on, after Hugo is caught by the Aban Khan, we see the procession up close for the first time: they're soldiers taking Hugo (in a cage) to his trial in Dar Es Salaam.
