No it doesn't.

Rose, please say you didn't! Please say you didn't!!

The town of "Passamaquoddy" portrayed in the film does not exit. "Passamaquoddy" is the name of the Indian tribe that lives in Norther Maine. See http://www.passamaquoddy.com/

Passamaquoddy Bay, on the Maine/New Brunswick border is very real, although the town in the movie is fictional.

For Passamaquoddy - with the matte paintings included, the film was shot at Disney Studios in Burbank and at Disney Golden Oak Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA.
