Warner Bros. & DC Comics

The movie opens in Amnesty Bay, Maine in 1985 when Princess Atlanna (Nicole Kidman) washes up on the shore of Thomas Curry's lighthouse, after which the pair fall in love and conceive Arthur.

This location was in fact ripped straight from the comics, and though Amnesty Bay's location has been shifted from Massachusetts to Maine for the big screen, the movie version is otherwise a total dead ringer for the original.

Worry not, Massachusetts locals, because the good state does get a namedrop a few scenes later, when a young Arthur visits the Boston Aquarium.
