Additional Comments:  "Six different actors were seen smoking in this film, including Paul Sorvino, one of the film's stars.  There was a scene in which a character was shown smoking inside of a theater; this may have been an accurate portrayal given that the film takes place in the 1930's, but it is clearly unnecessary in a PG-rated film.  Similarly, there is a scene in which Bob Leeman plays the notable comedian W.C. Fields, who is carrying a cigar; again, this is not neccessary in a Disney film."
