"The Vultures were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. The band's manager, Brian Epstein, approached the Disney studios about having The Beatles appear in the film, and Disney had his animators create the Vultures specifically to be voiced by the band. But when Epstein took the idea to the Beatles, John Lennon vetoed the idea, and told Epstein to tell Disney 'he should hire Elvis Presley instead'. The look of The Vultures, with their mop-top haircuts and Liverpool voices, are a homage to The Beatles; one bird's voice and features are clearly based on George Harrison's. When the Beatles departed the project, the song was rewritten as a barbershop quartet, to make it timeless."

I guess it's not technically a quote.. but I'm really sad that they ended up not doing this! I think it would have made the film even better (even though it's already amazing). Cmon John, take one for the team☹
-So just an interesting chapter about something that could have happened!
