2	* BillingDisplacement:
3	** Not only is Creator/BrittRobertson not billed above the title like Creator/GeorgeClooney, even though Casey is the main character more than Frank is, but she's actually billed behind Hugh Laurie as well.
4	** Likewise Raffey Cassidy, who gets at least as much screen time as Clooney and far more than Laurie, but comes fourth in the cast list.
5	* BoxOfficeBomb: Quite a painful one for Disney. Only made $208 million worldwide against its $190 million budget (not including marketing costs). All told, Disney lost between $120 and $140 million.
6	* CreatorBacklash: Creator/BradBird said he regretted having to cut Creator/JudyGreer's screen time down, saying he pretty much wasted her talents.
7	* DawsonCasting: Creator/BrittRobertson is in her mid 20s, yet plays a girl who is still in high school.
8	* DearNegativeReader: Brad Bird responded to criticisms towards the film's RoadTripPlot by pointing out that simply having the characters walk around the eponymous city would not make for an interesting story.
9	* DeletedRole: Creator/JudyGreer's role as Casey's Mother was denoted to a flashback home video and is missing from the present day time period. WordOfGod is that Casey's Mother (along with members of Casey's extended family) were [[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Why-Judy-Greer-Was-Almost-Completely-Cut-Out-Tomorrowland-71536.html cut to streamline the story]]. Casey's mother appears in the present time period in the Junior Novelization. Some of their scenes are among the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray release.
10	* DoingItForTheArt: Brad Bird turned down an offer to direct ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' in order to work on this instead.
11	* RealitySubtext: The movie's concept is based on plans Walt Disney had for a 'City of the Future' - dedicated to showcasing new technology. Like in the movie, it would have had a monorail going around, and even had plans for a functioning airport.
12	* UnderageCasting: Creator/GeorgeClooney plays a character who is roughly sixteen years older than he is in real life.
13	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
14	** Creator/ShaileneWoodley was the first choice to play Casey, amusingly enough an attempt to reunite her with Creator/GeorgeClooney after ''Film/TheDescendants''. Being notoriously selective about what roles she takes, she turned it down. Creator/JudyGreer had also starred alongside them in ''The Descendants'' too. Creator/BrieLarson auditioned for the role.
15	** Legendary editor Walter Murch (Film/ApocalypseNow, Film/TheEnglishPatient) was originally working on the film. However, he was unceremoniously and suddenly fired due to creative differences between the studio and the filmmakers.
16	** The film was first announced as far back as 2011, with the WorkingTitle '1952'. It was later retitled 'Tomorrowland' after the U.S. Disney Theme Parks' land.
