This movie set was no picnic. One of the fawns ate a quart of paint during a scene break, and had to have her stomach pumped. Gub-Gub the Pig had to be replaced several times during filming, because piglets grow very fast. Squirrels ate through several key pieces of scenery, requiring thousands of dollars in repairs. When Sir Rex Harrison sang in the field of sheep, he had to be sprayed down repeatedly for flies. The sheep urinated on him, forcing multiple retakes. One of the goats broke loose during a scene and ate director Richard Fleischer's script. The first several weeks of filming in Castle Combe were disrupted by torrential downpours, after the producers ignored detailed climate reports about the area's weather patterns. A disgruntled resident tried to blow up the set with a homemade bomb.
