• The music in the third part of the film was intended to sound in the ordinary tempo, but its total length appeared to be longer than the animation created (8 minutes instead of 5).

• The music in the third part is borrowing heavily from the Irish folk song Whiskey in the Jar. The bridge between the first and the second verse of the part (before appearance of the fox) is based on George Harrison's song My Sweet Lord.
