3. In the original script, there were four kittens. The fourth kitten was named Waterloo, but he was removed because the writers thought four kittens was too many.

4. The film was intended to be live-action.

5. Some of Napoleon and Lafayette's barks were recycled from the Twilight Bark scene in 101 Dalmations.
