Trivia: Oscar-winning soundtrack composer Leigh Harline worked for Disney from 1932-41 and wrote the music for some of the best-known Disney film songs, including “When You Wish Upon a Star”, “I’m Wishing,” “Whistle While You Work,” “Heigh Ho,” and “Some Day My Prince Will Come.”
 

Goofs: Anachronisms: During the opening festivities for Dr. Lao’s circus, the Yeti is shown as organ grinder for three musical-box figures, one of which is Fred Flintstone playing the drums – a cartoon character who wasn’t created until nearly half a century after the film takes place (and, incidentally, a type of drum set-up not popularized until the early 1940′s).
 

“An old Chinese gentleman rides into the town of Abalone, Arizona and changes it forever, as the citizens see themselves reflected in the mirror of Lao’s mysterious circus of mythical beasts. Written by Edward E. Pringle <pringle@atb.teradyne.com>”
