Summer Magic - Production Notes

Production Notes

At first, Walt Disney did not care for "Ugly Bug Ball". Songwriter Robert Sherman explained to Disney that to bugs, other bugs were not ugly, even if they looked ugly to us, beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Disney liked the idea and the song went on to become one of the popular songs of the year. It was sung by Burl Ives.

"On the Front Porch" is songwriter Robert Sherman's personal favorite song from his own work.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:

    “The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
    —Debbie Taylor (20th century)

    “My notes have a curious tendency, as I realize at last, to annihilate all they purport to record.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
