Facts about
Producer George Pal originally wanted Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness to play the Brothers Grimm, but MGM vetoed the idea.
Although 'buddy Hackett' sang in "The Music Man", he had what could be described as a "funny" singing voice which would have seemed out of place in the eerie "flute-playing" scenes of "The Singing Bone".

Although Sundberg did not have a trained singing voice, it had the right gravitas for the somber fairy tale.
Walter Rilla spoke English with a heavy accent, so his voice was dubbed by another actor.
