** He and Isabelle had also just had a falling out at that point in the story, and it's not until a bit later that they make amends and actually become friends. On top of that, Isabelle is on crutches from the box of drawings falling on her foot. She's probably not in a condition to go gallivanting through the station's walls winding clocks, and definitely can't climb ladders to reach the higher ones, as Hugo is described doing in the book.

Especially not more than once a day, when she’s presumably still in school, and isn’t supposed to be seeing Hugo in the first place.

** It's possible the owner of the cinema would've been on watch for any signs of Etienne waiting for them nearby, trying to catch whatever children he had been sneaking in. Etienne might've reasoned that staying away would keep Isabelle and Hugo out of trouble, and that the two would just go home in the event that he didn't show up.

** He's not used to relying on other people; he's been alone for a couple years and is out of the habit of trusting others.
** Maybe he was at the Academy for his next job interview? Or maybe he just forgot?
** Claude probably didn't tell anyone he was taking Hugo in.

** The automaton is all he has left of his dad, so he's desperately hoping that the message will be from his father too. Logical? Maybe not. Understandable for a 12-year-old boy with no family left? Probably.

** Hugo's point wasn't about whether a given part could be removed without noticeably affecting the machine. His point was that whoever made the machine had a reason for including that part with it, even if it's not obvious. It's not very economical, if nothing else, to design a machine with some needless spare part that does absolutely nothing in practice. A function not being obvious actually supports his point, that being that people can still have purposes in the world, even if they haven't realized them yet.

** If I recall correctly, the inspector didn't see Hugo's face during the first chase scene - it seems the dog did, for a brief second when he tracked Hugo down at the toy booth, but all Inspector Gustave would've seen after Hugo started running would be the back of his head.

* The scene was really heartwarming, of course, but...when Hugo tells Isabelle that machines never have any spare parts, and are always built with exactly what they need...isn't that technically not true? It seems any machine would have at least one gizmo or widget you could take out without affecting anything.

** I saw it as a bit of artistic license and magic. Because parts of the automaton were used to make the camera, the automaton "remembers" the major scenes and can sketch them.
Added DiffLines:
** The ''idea'' for the scene could've existed well before the movie was made; that's how the creative process works. Just because it hadn't been put to film yet doesn't meant Melies couldn't have imagined it up at the time he built the automaton.

** Judging by the way Isabelle hurriedly tries to explain, it seems her impression was that Jeanne thought Hugo had stolen the key from her. If not that, Jeanne might've just been upset that Isabelle had been involved in Hugo fixing the automaton, as it would mean she now knows more than Jeanne would like her to.

* Why did the police need to contact Inspector Gustave to ask whether Hugo's uncle had any relatives? Given they were presumably the same ones who contacted Claude when Hugo's father had died, shouldn't they already have known that Hugo was living with him?

** I always saw it as Mama Jeanne being upset because the key has led to a situation where she was worried that her husband would find out and his old wound would be opened again, and she wanted to spare him the pain of that.

** The first explanation I thought of for this line would be the lack of interchangeable parts. Interchangeable parts, or parts that can replace identical/similar parts that have been broken, was only established a century before, and Wikipedia only mentions its establishment in America. In this context, referring to an automaton, a lot of the machine's equipment would probably be custom made and hand crafted. furthermore, Hugo has grown up around clocks and automatons that (I'm guessing) are older than interchangeable parts. TL;DR, Hugo wouldn't think that something could be replaced because he's never had evidence otherwise.

* Could someone explain to me the scene where Mama Jeanne starts to throw Hugo out in the film, after bringing up the automaton's key that Isabelle had? In the book, it was mentioned that Isabelle had taken the key without her knowing, only to have it stolen again by Hugo due to their falling out, hence why Jeanne was upset. In the film, though, Jeanne states that she ''gave'' the key to Isabelle, and then Isabelle willingly gave it to Hugo because their falling-out was cut. With these simple facts in mind, I don't see a reason why Jeanne would have a right to be upset - does she think Hugo stole the key from Isabelle? Or is she merely upset that Isabelle have the key to him?
