Detailed Animal Action Report

Nemo is the family dog who is present in many scenes but does nothing more difficult than beg food at a Thanksgiving dinner. In some of the flashbacks horses can be seen pulling carts. When the circus comes to town a variety of animals such as elephants and camels lead a parade down a Baltimore street. In one scene a mass of swarming bees attack a young boy who has inadvertently disturbed them. Both real and fake bees were used in addition to tiny plastic puff balls. The puff balls were kept moving with the use of air guns to create the illusion of bees in flight. When bees were actually on the young actor, a small dab of glue was placed on the bees’ stingers to prevent them from stinging. The glue was later removed leaving the bees with their stingers intact.
