Vincent Price realized a life-long dream with this film. He had always wanted to be the voice of a character in a Disney film.

Peter Cook and Michael Palin were considered for the role of Basil.

In Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story "The Sign Of Four", Holmes borrowed a dog named Toby.

When Dr. Dawson and Olivia are seeking Basil's help at his house, Basil slouches down in his chair and starts playing the violin, holding it in his right hand and having the bow in his left. When Basil sits up in another shot, he is holding the violin in his left hand (like it's supposed to be) and the bow in his right.

During the "Oh Ratigan" scene when the lighting goes red, Ratigan's white collar and cuffs turn a pinkish red, but his white gloves stay white.

When Olivia is hugging Basil at the end of the movie, her hair ribbon is on her right ear, but when she steps back it's on her left ear.

Dr. Dawson: How the deuce did you know I was a doctor?

Olivia Flaversham: You know, Daddy, this is my very best birthday!

Ratigan: Fidget, you delightful little maniac! You've provided me with a singular opportunity. Poor Basil. Oh, he's in for a little surprise.
