 The world premiere of this film was scheduled to be in the tiny  Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta, Maine, USA. Day, Maurice (qv), an  animator with Disney, brought Felix Salten (qv)s book to the  attention of Disney, Walt (qv), and when Walt decided to make the  movie he thanked Maurice by planning to hold the premiere in  Maurices home town. However, the State of Maine objected, fearing  that hunters would be offended by the film, and the actual world  premiere was elsewhere.
