Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEach of the Toa share the same basic body-type in this movie, the only exception being Nokama, the female Toa of Water. She seems to have what appears to be a cleavage, with the upper panel of her chest-plate missing. The pair of mechanical gears underneath also seem to more prominent than the ones of her male companions, even if smaller. While this doesn't make perfect sense in the BIONICLE world, it does help to make her gender instantly determinable. Recent years have seen rabid complaining among fans because the newer female Toa characters look rather masculine.
- GoofsWhen Toa Lhikan arrives in the district of Ga-Metru, a male voice gasps his name, even though there are only female citizens in Ga-Metru.
- Crazy creditsNear the end of the credits, many gag titles are written in Bionicle writing. When decoded, they read: Best Matoran, Location Scouts, Asst to Mr Makuta, Set Doctor, Nivawk Handler, Gaffer, Vahki Transport Captain, Security for Metru Nui, Master Builders, Stunt Riders, Stunt Doubles for Matau and Kikanalo Wranglers.
- Alternate versionsIn the Japanese dub, almost all uses of the words "brother(s)" or "sister" are replaced with the characters' actual names, exceptions being when Nidhiki taunts Lhikan by calling him his brother. Makuta also calls his pet bird Nivawk by name, whereas he goes unnamed in the original English version.
