..NEITHER WALT OR ROY DISNEY'S FACES WERE EVER USED IN THE SINGING BUSTS IN THE GRAVEYARD SCENE.

..THE ORGAN IN THE GRAND HALL SCENE IS THE ACTUAL ORGAN PLAYED BY CAPTAIN NEMO IN 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA.

..FORMER IMAGINEER ROLLY CRUMP,AT WALTS REQUEST, DREW THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT DRAWINGS. WALTS RESPONSE WAS,"THIS STUFF IS REALLY WERID,ROLLY. WHAT IN THE HECK ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH IT?"
