Commander Root: You're picking my pocket.
- The film has been in development since 2001. Eoin Colfer has jokingly stated that the movie would be finished two years after he died.
- Eoin Colfer shot his cameo in one day: "It wasn't too taxing - although I did manage to get it wrong a few times. The only direction they gave was: Walk across the field and don't look at the camera. I must have looked at the camera about 20 times. I have a new respect for actors."
- At the end of the movie you can clearly see the identification number of Artemis Fowl's helicopter which reads El-FMN1. Like personalized licensed plate would sound out to Elf man 1.
- Josh Gad's 4th Disney film, after Frozen (2013), Beauty and the Beast (2017), and Frozen II (2019).
- Dame Judi Dench's casting as Commander Root, the head of a secret police of fairies, is a homage to Dench's previous role in the James Bond films as M, the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service.
