"Ernest Lehman, who did the screenplay, rewrote almost every lead line into the vocals we used, so that you were into a song as unconsciously as possible." |
 It took legendary puppeteers Bil and Cora Baird three months to createthe puppets used in this scene; it took Julie Andrews and the children three weeks to learn how to operate them; the sequence takes three minutes of screen time. |
As a souvenir, Robert Wise has kept the original puppet he used in the film.
