  • The opening credits are set against an animated background that interacts
    with the credit lettering.
  • The animators who animated the opening title sequence were technically
    uncredited on film, but they did get their names in during the shot where
    the giant globe "explodes" and there is a shower of name credits strewn
    over the screen. Freeze-frame reveals the names of all the animators. This
    is the same animation team who did
    A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) (TV).
  • After Spencer Tracy's credit has been shown, the words "and in
    alphabetical order" appear, and the next group of credits is assembled
    below them by animated hands: Milton Berle, Sid Caesar,
    Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney,
    Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, and
    Jonathan Winters. But after a moment, the hands reappear to
    pull out Silvers' credit and move it to the top, then Winters', then
    Caesar's, and so on until everyone has had had a turn at top billing
    in the group. The hands then quickly shuffle the credits several more
    times for good measure, all the time with the "and in alphabetical order"
    label still in place. The final order is Silvers, Rooney, Berle, Winters,
    Merman, Hackett, Terry-Thomas, Caesar, Shawn.
