Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChuck Jones had been under an exclusive contract with Warner Bros., and worked on this film in violation of his contract. After Warner Bros. picked up the film from UPA for distribution instead of Columbia, they discovered his work on the film and fired him, resulting in his departure for MGM.
- GoofsJaune-Tom and Robespierre set off from a station in Provence signed "Moustier St Marie". It is a real place but spelled "Moustiers Ste. Marie"; the Virgin Mary is after all always in the feminine.
- Quotes
Jeanette: [to her sister] But darling, think of Paris! Lovely, gay Paris! Have you forgotten the sidewalk cafés and how we sipped champagne?
Mewsette: [thinking] Champagne? That must be what they call catnip in Paris. How nice!
Jeanette: ...the button champignons sautéed in butter with tiny shreds of herbs...
Mewsette: [thinking] Champignons? I know what they are - mushrooms! And delicious, too!
Jeanette: And oh, my dear, the Champs-Elysées!
Mewsette: [thinking] Champs-Elysées? I wonder what they taste like.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits include colorful drawings of the movie's main stars, which then change into their cartoon characters. Although John Hitesman is credited with the title artwork, the caricatures appear to be the work of Ronald Searle.
- Alternate versionsSome television prints are clumsily edited and have several reels in the wrong order.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios Part 5 (2009)
Judy did a wonderful job as Mewsette, both in speaking and singing for her. And Chuck Jones did an excellent job with the production and animation of the film; Chuck Jones is one of my favorite animators. So overall, this film is an excellent piece of animation. It is colorful and beautifully animated, with songs you will remember and love.
