Trivia: Director Mel Stuart intentionally chose to film the exterior scenes in Munich, Germany, to give the film a charming, timeless, fairy-tale fantasy quality. He also purposefully minimized the appearance of modern automobiles and distinct landmarks throughout production to achieve a timeless, placeless quality. What trivia can you share? Tell us below!👇
