Factual error: As Danny arrives in Hollywood at the beginning of the film, the Hollywood sign can be seen. The film is set in 1939 so the sign should still read Hollywoodland, as it did until 1949. (00:03:00)
Cats Don't Dance (1997)

Starring: Scott Bakula, Ashley Peldon, Jasmine Guy, Natalie Cole
Trivia: Originally intended to be a major theatrical release. However, after production company Turner Broadcasting was merged with Time Warner, the latter decided to simply burn off the film by releasing it into theaters with little promotion. As a result, despite receiving good reviews, the movie bombed in theaters. However, it has gained a cult following in the years since its release.
Trivia: The final film Hollywood legend Gene Kelly was involved with before his death in 1996. He served as a consultant for the choreography of the musical numbers. The film was also reportedly somewhat inspired by his life.
Woolie Mammoth: Did you know the peanut is not a nut at all? And not a pea, for that matter. It's rather odd that we call it a nut because it isn't a nut, you see. It's actually a member of the legume family. How about pea-legume? No, that doesn't make any sense, either. But whatever it is, it makes a splendid tea.
