Duck’s sister almost didn’t make the cut
The scene where Duck sings with his little sister, as she’s cleaning the room, is one of the most memorable in the film, but it was a last minute addition that almost didn’t make the cut. The studio wasn’t too keen on Townsend singing lyrics off of pieces of balled up paper lying around the room. When you reflect on it, it is kind of corny; but Tressa Thomas’ voice is so unbelievable, it was worth keeping.
