Trivia Near the conclusion of the movie, just before Jimmy captures Charlie the duck, there is a Volkswagen Beetle with the license plate OFP 857 and inside the vehicle is a Great Dane. The tag was the very same as Herbie's in The Love Bug (1969), another Disney movie starring Dean Jones that was the first in a series of "Love Bug" films. The dog is the same breed as in The Ugly Dachshund (1966), also starring Dean Jones. See more »

Crazy Credits During the opening credits, an animated duck lays six eggs. Then, it places a "1" and a "$ " before these eggs. After it adds commas, the eggs turn golden with a cash register sound. The third egg then expands and blends into the opening scene. See more »
