Terry Jones picked this as part of his Top 10 Monty Python Movie Moments for Esquire Magazine - "It's such a lovely song. I think it's one of the best things Eric [Idle]'s ever done. There was going to be more animation but Terry was so busy with other parts of the film we ended up using more of the live-action parts that I'd shot for safety." See
