Wouldn’t you like to take a ride in this thing? I sure would!
Flying Pink Martini at 2 O’Clock off the Williamsburg Bridge . . . The Hipsters Cometh.
OK, I am daring you to name one thing in the universe that could possibly be cuter than this baby flying squirrel that is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, with room left over. And look at those big eyes. I’m dying of the cuteness over here.
“Now, Fly!”
From Neatorama:
Originally, a scene with an insect called the Jitterbug was shot for the movie. It involved a dance sequence with Dorothy, the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow, but was ultimately cut due to time constraints. However, you can still hear a reference to the scene in the movie when the Wicked Witch of the West sends the flying monkeys after the gang. She says,
“Take your army to the Haunted Forest, and bring me that girl and her dog.
Do as you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed!
They’ll give you no trouble. I promise you that.
I’ve sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them.
Take special care of those ruby slippers.
I want those most of all. Now fly!”
