The puppets were animated by George Pal's "Puppetoon" crew, and every facial expression or mouth movement was achieved by using carved replaceable parts -- hundreds of them!
Russ Tamblyn is 76 years old now, and he still looks boyish. Annoying!
OMG. !!! YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBER THIS?! I LOVED TO PLAY THIS FOR YOU WHEN YOU WOULD KICK IT AT THE HOUSE. EVERYTIME I SEE THIS, IT DEFINATELY REMINDS ME OF YOU. NITE NITE LOVE.
thanx 4 posting this film that i have often thought about ever since i saw it as a kid. sometimes i thought it was a product of my imagination, lol, but now i know it's real. i saw it as a young child with my father, and as it is the only time i ever remember going to the cinema with him, this film brings back many fond memories. i can now show it to my son! thanx again :)
i remember watchin this as a kid and it was non stop yawning, my mum said it was so funny watchin me yawning she has it on video and is gonna make a show of me at my next milestone birthday aaahhhhh
I was born in the year where this film - 1957 was produced and therefore I only took knowledge of the same for 1965 return. All the times that I attend this scene and I hear this song me of the one deep desire to sleep, also with yawns and all more. Congratulations and happinesses to who postou this scene of this magnificent film.
Nasci no ano em que foi produzido este filme - 1957 e portanto só tomei conhecimento do mesmo por volta de 1965. Todas as vezes que assisto esta cena e ouço esta canção me dá um profundo sono...com direito a bocejos e tudo mais!. Parabéns e felicidades a quem postou esta cena deste magnífico filme.
aww me mam nd dad used to use this song every night to put me bro to sleep its all breaking up on the tape now where they've been over it so many times :L
Haha, my uncle sings this, he's really funny. When we we're so tired that we can't sleep we say "Paul...do the yawny man song". And then we're all out like lights :)
How about this for a freaky coinkydink. I sent this link to my sister and she texted me to say she had just been telling her grandkids about the Yawning Man!
To anyone here who wants to buy a copy of this film on dvd,you can buy it on Ebay i bought a copy for £8.99,its available on regions 1,2,4 theres usually plenty of them.
I remember waatching this when I was 8 years old! It made me yawn ecven back then and it it still makes me yawn now! Has anyone got any idea where I buy this?
where can i buy this dvd, i loved watching this as a kid, i think i only ever saw the ending twice as i kept falling asleep to this damn song, its making me yawn now.
The voice of the Yawning man is the great Stan Freeberg. I often wonder if I'm the only person who sees the unintentional irony in this film. Joan of Arcadia's dad can talk to horses, but Wilbur Post can't.
Was just watching my new DVD of "tom thumb" and said, "The Yawning Man song should SO be shared on YouTube!" and luckily, I found it's already been done.
Wonderful movie!!! The special effects are "vintage" but no less appealing.
so that's where Yawning Man got it's name from :P okaaaay.
