Thought of putting this in brain food, but it said for non-LBT related things, so I hope here is okay.
I love looking up trivia/mistakes/ect of movies I like. Here are some interesting things I did'nt know and thought you'd all like to read.
1.) During development, Cera started out as a male triceratops called 'Bambo'. It was George Lucas's idea to make Cera a girl triceratops.
2.) Steven Spielberg and George Lucas originally wanted the film to have no dialog, like the Rite of Spring sequence in Fantasia (1940). But, to make the film appealing to children, they abandoned this idea, and got actors and actresses to do the voices.
3.) The role of Ducky was Judith Barsi's favorite of her own film roles.
4.) Originally planned for release in fall, 1987. Production was delayed by a year due to the relocation of Sullivan Bluth Studios to Dublin, Ireland.
5.) The Haunted Mansion thunderclap is heard right at the beginning of the first storm, when it frightens Baby Cera.
6.) 29 species of animals were featured in this film. 5 of them were already extinct by the time the movie was set.
7.) The film's theme song, "If We Hold on Together", was sung by 'Diana Ross' and became a huge hit in Japan. It did so well there that it became a karaoke standard.
Do you guys have stuff to add?
