Box[edit]

I have reduced the box at the foot. Apart from the articles for the five movies - what does this add ? Most entries were red links, and the rest either link to irrelevant articles or redirect back to the movie. -- Beardo 15:12, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

David Swift[edit]

David Swift, american director of Parent Trap and Pollyanna, has been hyperlinked to David Swift, english actor, in error. Check imdb as needed. If someone could correct that. Best regards.

Special effect[edit]

The article should discuss how they accomplished the effect that allowed the star to play two characters in the same scene. Was it stationary camera with overlapping images? 69.105.172.180 (talk) 07:23, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Production Section Plagiarism[edit]

The following passage in the Production section is completely plagiarized verbatim without attribution from the trivia section of the IMDB profile of the film:

The film originally called for only a few trick photography shots of Hayley Mills in scenes with herself; the bulk of the film was to be shot using a body double. The film used Disney's proprietary sodium vapor process for compositing rather than the usual chroma key technique. When Walt Disney saw how seamless the processed shots were, he ordered the script reconfigured to include more of the special effect. Disney also wanted Mills to appear on camera as much as possible, knowing that she was having growth spurts during filming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7080:102:5800:70BB:C242:2E5D:AF9A (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the original passage was added in August 2007 here, and a now-blocked editor added a sentence here in September 2009, then Enon added this in March 2017. Reviewing the Internet Archive, it looks like IMDb's trivia page predates the initially-added passage, as seen here in 2006. I've removed the passage in its entirety due to plagiarism and lack of sourcing. Thanks for pointing this out. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:15, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
