Has anyone noticed...


When the Queen enters to borrow the Abbott from Mme Blayac, the music playing in the background is "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"?

Well, I thought it was very funny (and clever), given how away with the fairies everyone is in this film.

Actually it's Mozart's harpsichord variations of "Ah vous dirai-je Maman", a french song that was popular back then.

Ah, thanks. I thought it was a bit of directorial irony. But Mozart is not my strong suit.

Yeah, actually the nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinke Little Star" uses Mozart's exact melody :)

Yes,I did. ^^ And I love the sound of the harpsichord. It's too classy.
