Two trivia bits you may not have noticed


1. Manny and Gypsy are left-handed. When the Blueberries come in asking for autographs, everyone else signs with their right hands.
2. In the bar scene, right as Flik walks in, there is a piano in the backround playing a song. (Listen to the "music only" audio track on the DVD.) This song is "Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me".

That second fact seems a lot more significant to me.

Supermodels...spoiled stupid little stick figures mit poofy lips who sink only about zemselves.

I thought they were playing "I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly."

reply

No, no, no. She swallowed a spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly.

Perhaps she'll die?

I know that at the very beginning of that scene, someone requests "I Know and Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." I don't have a DVD-copy, though; I'm stuck with a VHS. I am waiting for the Blu-ray before I pay for the DVD, though I fear it will be very late in coming or not at all since it seems to take the back-burner amongst seemingly all Pixar discussions.

Life's not for everyone.

Interesting.

When the flies go to the ladybug's table, he deadpans, "Shoo, fly, don't bother me."

So it would correlate nicely if the song really is, "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me'.
