This movie was funded by the Sir Peter Moores Foundation. This institution has backed numerous operatic recordings in English released on CD. Although this movie is the Foundation's first movie, it is their second recording of the opera (the first was released on CD in 2005). The cast for this movie is entirely new.
Shot entirely in a studio. Even the final scene, which supposedly takes place in sunlit exteriors, was created partly by CGI effects.
Joseph Kaiser reportedly lost thirty pounds between recording and shooting to fit the young romantic soldier look of Tamino.
The tank which appears in this movie was a specially-built replica. It was slightly smaller than a real World War I tank would have been, and powered by a Ford Transit engine. It is now in the hands of a historical re-enactment society.
The second Sir Kenneth Branagh-directed full-length movie for which Patrick Doyle did not compose the score. Peter's Friends (1992) was the first, which consisted entirely of songs from the 1980s and early 1990s.
"Papageno: [singing] A birdman's work is never done/ From crack of dawn to set of sun,/ In unrewarded servitude/ He labours to protect his brood. /I feed and train my chirping pets, /I lay down traps and cast out nets,/ I speak in fluent 'Pigeonese' /And charm the birds right off the trees."
"Papageno: [Papageno and Tamino are undergoing a trial of silence, but Papageno speaks anyway, much to the displeasure of Tamino. An old woman enters] Is that for me? Old Papagena: [speaks, carrying a tray of refreshments] Yes, my angel! Papageno: [drinks and then speaks] Water! Ugh! How old are you, my dear? Old Papagena: [speaks] I'm eighteen years and - two minutes. Papageno: [bursts into laughter and speaks] I see! Do you have a boyfriend? Old Papagena: [speaks] Oh, yes! Papageno: [speaks] What's his name? Old Papagena: [speaks] Papageno! Papageno: [speaks as she starts to leave] Papa - Hey, that's me! Wait! What's your name? Old Papagena: [speaks] Wouldn't you like to know! Toodle-oo!"
