Trivia

Esio Trot is tortoise spelt backwards.

Share this

Seventy-six tortoises were used in the making of the film.

Share this

Dustin Hoffman often becomes very warm on set and prefers to have air con. However, air con could not be used on the set of this film because the tortoises would not act if they got too cold.
