The Spaghetti Scene Almost Didn’t Happen
The Lady and the Tramp wouldn’t be the same without the famous spaghetti-eating scene. The film, which follows two very different dogs as they fall in love, is still a fan favorite.
The Spaghetti Scene Almost Didn’t Happen
The dogs share a bowl of pasta in the film’s most adorable (and often parodied) scene. This canine carb-laden meal was apparently not approved by Walt Disney, who removed it from the film’s storyboards. He assumed the scene would be far too chaotic. Thankfully, the scene was reworked by the film’s directing animator, Frank Thomas, into the now-iconic cinematic moment.
The Spice Girls Were Almost the Muses
The five muses help set the tone for the events of Hercules from the beginning of the 1997 animated Disney film. Much of the film’s music is provided by these five women, who are based on various Greek goddesses.
The Spice Girls Were Almost The Muses
Alan Menken, the film’s composer, had envisioned the Spice Girls as the muses for one of the film’s most popular songs, “I Won’t Say.” Due to scheduling conflicts, the British girl group reportedly declined to lend their voices. Ultimately, the film’s composers chose gospel-influenced music over pop music for the soundtrack.
