* EnforcedMethodActing: Allegedly, many of the stunts were done by actually putting the animal actors in danger and then filming. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_of_Milo_and_Otis#Animal_cruelty_allegations The other wiki]] mentions the allegations but notes that nothing was ever proven. The Japanese version has a good bit of footage deemed too nasty for the American cut, including a much more violent fight between the pug and the bear, and one kitten that reportedly had its foot deliberately broken (later found to be untrue; they got it to limp by injecting its paw with a mild anesthetic).
* OneBookAuthor: This is the only film to have been produced by Masanori Hata, a professional zoologist and essayist.
