Production notes

When prepared for TV distribution in the 70s (and home video release as well), the animators replaced the witch's alcoholic drink with a chicken drumstick. If you freeze-frame the opening shot where she's seen wobbling across the sky atop her broom, you can see the drink in her hand.
