    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The poster parodies at the end are all of movies from Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema, or Turner Entertainment. The filmmakers originally conceived of parodies of other famous films, such as The Sound of Music (1965) and Star Wars (1977), but abandoned them because they would've had to pay licensing fees.
    • Goofs
      As Danny arrives in Hollywood at the beginning of the film, the Hollywood sign can be seen. The film is set in 1939 so the sign should still read Hollywoodland as it did until 1949.
    • Quotes

      T.W.: [frantically searching through fortunes] They can break your cookie, but... you'll always have your fortune.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a statement in the closing credits: "No animals were harmed during the making of this film. Although, some were erased and had to be redrawn."

    One of the greatest animated movies! Period!
    The animation is startlingly spectacular! Watch the ally scene and the animals when they start to dance to the music! It's breathtaking ride you won't want to end! The villain is so evil she's funny, and Max the Butler gets the best line: "How does the kitty cat go?" The end sequence on stage is extraordinary! To the person who said the time isn't dated, the time is 1939, because "Gone with the Wind" is coming out in theaters in the beginning! For 30s and 40s movie lovers like me, it's a wonderful treat you'll latch onto and never let go!
