As revealed by director Ken Annakin on the DVD commentary, the trapped zebra was subjected to electric shocks to make it move about, a practice that is now illegal in Hollywood movies.
Sir John Mills was felt to be out of place, as he was English, and the rest of the family were played by Americans.
Many of the animal scenes would not be allowed in a movie today, due to laws governing the use of animals in movies.
On the DVD commentary, director Ken Annakin said the man that the tiger is chasing in the scene with the fight with the pirates was actually the trainer of the tiger. The trainer, knowing how hard tigers are to train, and with the man having his back to the tiger would make the tiger naturally predatory, he could not trust the tiger to not maul the actor playing the pirate.
Fritz and Ernst fighting the anaconda in the swamp inspired the garbage masher scene in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).
"Father: Don't you sometimes feel that this is the kind of life we were meant to live on this earth? Everything we need, everything, right here, right at our fingertips. You know, if only people could have all this and be satisfied, I don't think there'd be any real problems in the world. Mother: And no future generations. We don't have *everything* we need right here at our fingertips."
"Ernst: Fritz! Listen! Do you think when we get to New Guinea, *if* we ever do, there'll be any girls our age? Fritz: By the time we get to New Guinea, we won't care *what* age they are! [both laugh]"
