History JustForFun / DisneysAnneFrank

* RecursiveCanon: The mall in the AbsurdlySpaciousSewer briefly shows a movie poster for ''Disney's Anne Frank''.

* BilingualBonus: Sgt. Hündin's surname means 'bitch' in German. On the good guys' side, Rose Blanche means "White Rose" in French, although whether this intentionally references the 1940's pacifist youth resistance movement in Munich is unclear. Actually, given Lorenz's penchant for quotes and aphorisms in foreign languages, every other word he says falls into this category.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Not listed in the official films by Disney. Reportedly, they even asked that this site not list it on our own DisneyAnimatedCanon page. In fact, when Disney included the original trailer of ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' among that movie's laserdisc bonus features, they had Mark Elliot redub part of it, so that it would refer to ''The Little Mermaid'' as movie #28, instead of #29. They also used this version on the Platinum Edition DVD.

* OneSceneWonder: On the trainride to Auschwitz, a surprisingly non-zombie guard begins to feel sorry for Anne because her diary was taken from her by Olga, he begins telling lousy jokes which eventually leads to the number ''"I'm On A Fast Train To Camp Blues"''. He never appears after this scene. His voice actor wanted to be left uncredited, but his ExecutiveMeddling lead to his name getting top billing, before the title which angered him so much that he refused to work for Disney for years until being asked to dub some roles for CastleInTheSky and the KingdomHearts series. That V.A.'s name was MarkHamill.

Also see ''DerFuehrersFace'', another WWII-themed Disney short that actually played before this movie during it's brief theatrical run.

** [[Film/TheProducers Springtime for Hitler]] was in the [[DevelopmentHell Second]] HarlanEllison version of the script. And he wanted it to be sung by A NAZI [[BrianBlessed BRIAN BLESSED]]!

Despite Disney's assurances that they understood the sensitivity of the source material, it was critically panned for its handling of the Holocaust, particularly the ending, where Anne liberates Auschwitz. It was a BoxOfficeBomb and was largely buried by Disney. There are reports that they would rather release ''SongOfTheSouth'' again before this movie.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Anne. Her father says that everyone must go barefoot in the attic so no one will hear them. Not only does she gleefully take her shoes off and leave them off for the rest of the film, we also get a few seconds of FootFocus. Rumor has it that scene was traced over for Ariel's discovery of her feet in TheLittleMermaid.

* AlanSmithee: The movie went through several directors during development and filming with all of them ultimately deciding to abandon the project which explains the film's uneven pacing and tones at points. Among the directors that worked on this project were TimBurton, JerryLewis, and MelBrooks.

** The Nazi uniform buttons feature hidden Mickeys in three seperate scenes.

*** One of the rabbis in the scene where the zombies break into the synagogue looks an awful lot like [[TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMr.Toad Ichabod Crane]] with a mustache.

''Disney's Anne Frank'' is an[[labelnote:*]]imaginary[[/labelnote]] animated film released by {{Disney}} in the spring of 1989. It is very, ''very'' loosely based on ''Theatre/TheDiaryOfAnneFrank'', but takes a lot of liberties with the source material, adding three talking animal sidekicks, a Nazi necromancer FemmeFatale, and a HappilyEverAfter ending.

* ChekovsGun: An Auschiwtz guard literally named Chekov is shown to often forget his gun at the guard common room. In the climax, Chekov forgets his gun once again, allowing him and his commanding officer to get eaten as well as letting Anne obtain a weapon to fight off the zombies.

** WillSmith as Jackie Robinson and ChristopherLee as (an [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] and [[TheFaceless faceless]]) Adolf Hitler.
