* InspirationForTheWork: Creator/WesAnderson was inspired by the works of Creator/LouisMalle, particularly ''Film/TheFireWithin'', where a suicidal man tries to meet his friends. A line from the film is translated into English and appears as "I'm going to kill myself tomorrow."

** ''Literature/FromTheMixedUpFilesOfMrsBasilEFrankweiler'', where the characters Claudia and Jamie run away to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, inspired the story of Margot and Richie hiding out in a museum. Having read the book, Anderson said it long stuck with him.
** Creator/JDSalinger's characters in the 1961 book ''Literature/FrannyAndZooey'' inspired much of the child prodigy material. The children of the Glass family in Salinger's work are precocious with an abundance of exceptional talents. ''Franny and Zooey'' also features characters wearing distinctive fashions and a character with the name Tannenbaum."Tenenbaum" is the name of a family of Anderson's acquaintance.
** The film ''Film/LesEnfantsTerribles'' by Creator/JeanPierreMelville partly inspired Richie and Margot's relationship. Other inspirations were one of Anderson's childhood friends who loved his sister, and Anderson's interest in the incest taboo; he acknowledged the relationship became more believable when the story was revised to make Margot adopted.

* ActorSharedBackground: Creator/GeneHackman mentioned in interviews that he was somewhat hesitant to accept the part, as he felt that he himself had been insensitive to his own family at different points in his life. He asked them if they would find him playing this character uncomfortable for their own sakes. They all agreed he should accept the part.

Added DiffLines:
* EnforcedMethodActing: On the first day Creator/GeneHackman and Creator/AnjelicaHuston appeared in a scene together, she had to slap him, and later said the slap was real and "I hit him a really good one. I saw the imprint of my hand on his cheek and I thought, he's going to kill me."
* FatalMethodActing: {{Averted}}. During young Margot's birthday scene in the opening scenes, Creator/AnjelicaHuston's hair caught fire from a birthday candle. Creator/WesAnderson credited Kumar Pallana with extinguishing the blaze before Huston was seriously injured.
* FlipFlopOfGod: Creator/BenStiller asked Creator/WesAnderson why his character and his sons wore red track suits. Anderson replied that because Chaz was so obsessed with safety after the death of his wife, red would make everyone easier to see in case of an emergency. Anderson later admitted on the DVD audio commentary that he had no real reason behind the costumes, he just always imagined those characters in red Adidas track suits.

Added DiffLines:
* ThrowItIn: The scene where Richie punches the glass in Mordecai's pen was unscripted, this was improvised by Creator/LukeWilson on the spot, and the scene quickly cuts to Richie and Ralleigh talking up close, this is because when Wilson punched the glass, Creator/WesAnderson thought he seriously hurt himself.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/GeneWilder turned down the role of Royal Tenenbaum due to his retirement. Creator/WarrenBeatty was also considered.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Etheline Tenenbaum is loosely based on Creator/WesAnderson's own mother Ann Burroughs, who, after divorcing his father, became an archaeologist. Burroughs' actual glasses are worn by Etheline.
