Notes & Trivia[]
- Production code number: MU001
- The scene in the Royal Palace where Man-at-Arms informs the King and Queen of the secret mission was omitted from the script, and then later included.
- In the moral scene it was written that Man-at-Arms fired a shot at a target and missed, only to hit it on his second attempt, proving that we should all try, try again!
- The script in Act One originally ended with the pieces of the cosmic comet hurling towards Zagraz Mountain.
- The term "Cosmic Comet" is quite redundant since they only exist in outer space.
