3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)?
a.		This film was originally planned to have been a dramatic, sweeping Disney musical named "Kingdom of the Sun", to be directed by The Lion King director Roger Allers and Mark Dindal, director of Turners Cats Dont Dance, with six original songs written by Sting, that was essentially an Incan re-telling of Mark Twains "The Prince and the Pauper." David Spade was the voice of the young emperor Manco, Owen Wilson was Pacha, a young peasant with a striking resemblance to the emperor, and Eartha Kitt was Yzma, the aged royal sorceress. The film involved Manco and Pacha switching places, except that Yzma finds out, turns Manco into a (non-speaking) llama, and makes Pacha do her bidding. Pacha also eventually was to fall in love with Nina (voice of Carla Gugino), the emperors betrothed. The resulting film tested very poorly, and the production was suspended, even though the film was 50% complete. Allers and Yzma supervising animator Andreas Deja both left the project and moved to Orlando, Florida to work on Lilo & Stitch. During the production hiatus, Dindal, producer Randy Fullmer, story man Chris Williams, and screenwriter David Reynolds completely overhauled the film, eventually throwing out Wilson, the "Prince and the Pauper" angle, the completed footage, and all but one of Stings songs. The story was rebuilt from the ground up, retaining Spades and Kitts characters and creating a new, wackier film that centered around Spades (talking) llama, Yzma, and two new characters: Pacha, now a middle aged man played by John Goodman and Patrick Warburtons character Kronk.
b.		The high school scenes were mostly shot at Pompton Lakes High School, yet the school and town receive no mention in the closing credits.
c.		Justin Long (the voice of Alvin) went hoarse frequently during the recording sessions due to the fact they had to pitch up each sentence of dialog so that the voice altering methods would sound more natural.
d.		When Wayne and Garth are on the hood of the car watching airplanes fly over, Garth asks Wayne if he ever thought Bugs Bunny was attractive in womens clothing. Mike Myers laugh after that comment was genuine, but he was laughing at something completely different Dana Carvey said off camera.

Griffith film the enormously popular play "The Two Orphans," which had been translated into 40 languages, thinking of her sister Dorothy Gish in the role of Henriette. Interestingly, Griffith cast Dorothy as Louise, the passive blind victim, when it was Lillian who was best known for playing helpless heroines. Most who knew her would attest that Dorothy was the more vivacious and strong willed of the two sisters. Lillian had written of her sister in 1927 "She is laughter, even on the cloudy days of life; nothing bothers her or saddens her or concerns her lastingly."
b.		Sass Parillas Chapter IV killing spree and the Chilapuna boat scenes were shot at the directors parents home in Oxford, Georgia.

The producers eventually discovered that Peraino had lied to them about the films profits; after Peraino was arrested on obscenity charges when his role in Deep Throat was revealed, the cast and crew filed a suit against him and were awarded $25,000 each.
