Trivia
As revealed by one of the art designers in the behind-the-scenes clips, the airships we see in the movie are as big as a football stadium.

The accompanying novel was written according to a pre-finalization version of the script, and differs in a number of ways from the completed movie. The most notable differences: Krekka operates a small crane in Vakama's workshop in the book, but in the movie, he only stands in one place. During the Kikanalo stampede, Vakama, Nokama, and Matau try to hide into a building that the Kikanalo smash through, but this scene is missing from the movie. Another sequence that was never animated is the "Troller" scene -- during which Turaga Lhikan, Onewa, Whenua, and Nuju take a ride inside the mouth of a hypnotized underground beast, and after they meet up with the other Toa, fight a flock of Lohrak. The defeat of Makuta is also described differently -- in the movie, he tries to grab Vakama, but he jumps away, so that Makuta grabs a huge rock instead that flattens him against a cliff; whereas in the book, Vakama sticks his disk launcher into a crack, Makuta attacks it, but cannot let go, so he pulls himself into the cliff with a huge smash.

As revealed by the DeviantArt page of production designer David Max, the body of Nokama, the female Toa, was created by taking a female human's torso and legs as a base, and drawing Bionicle pieces over it. This was done to make her stand out from the generic body types of the male Toa.

Goofs
After the Vahki attack the Toa and Turaga Lhikan in the underground tunnel, they hide inside a chamber, and try to keep the door shut. In one shot, you can clearly see Vakama and a couple of other Toa straining against the door. In the next shot, he is standing away from the bunch, trying to come up with a plan. In the following shot, he is back at the door, and after that, he returns to the spot he was two shots before.

Q
Does the Morbuzakh plant appear in the film?
A
The Morbuzakh plant, which had a great presence in the comics, novels and games leading up to the movie's story, only has a short cameo, during the Toa Metru's "scavenger hunt" montage when its vines are seen holding Vakama prisoner.
Q
What's Makuta referring to when he says "my brothers"?
A
The Brotherhood of Makuta, the evil organization that he's the leader of. This was one of the first hints in the BIONICLE storyline that there was more than one Makuta.
Q
What's with the scene in which Turaga Dume talks to a mirror?
A
Turaga Dume is seen talking to a shadowy mirror in which the eyes of the evil Makuta appear. Later it's revealed that Dume is in fact Makuta himself, wearing the disguise of the real Turaga Dume. So was he talking to himself in the scene? If so, why did "Makuta" talk in a different voice?The scene is actually never explained. Makuta has a fondness for self-monologuing, but it's unclear why he would project his eyes into the mirror and have a discussion with Dume, who is really himself. The scene is likely the result of the film's haphazard production.
