In order to keep true to the atmosphere of the previous films, it was imperative that there was a "musical continuity" with Ray's original fairy tale films. Ray had used stock production library music from the late 1940's / early 50's era. "We're both great fans of older music and have extensive vinyl, 78RPM, and CD collections," states Walsh, "so we were excited about the research. We knew the same style of music had to be found to make the film authentic." Caballero explains, "The original post-production house that Ray used was closed down so we had to start the research from scratch. We used the internet to piece together the snippets of information we had. Title would sometimes lead to composer name, which could then lead to names of long-defunct music libraries…it was very interesting research."

Gary Owens provided the narration for the film. Owens is probably the most recognized voice in America, and has contributed his talents to such shows as Laugh-In, Sesame Street and That 70's show. Gary was the first person to be inducted into both the Television and Radio Halls of Fame. He was everyone's first choice for the narration. All involved agreed that a warm and timeless voice was needed to tie together the audio and visuals with energy. Owens also narrated the first documentary on Harryhausen: Aliens, Dragons, Monsters and Me directed by Richard Jones.
