In the movie "Caddyshack" how did they teach that gopher to dance?!
Question: i saw this in an extended the dvd bonus feature.
They actually spent about 90% of the budget on that. They brought in some of the best biologist, animal behavior thereapists and dance instructers in the world. Took them 3 years of 12 hour days to get that little bit of footage.
Sadly, the gofer died of exhaustion just hours after filming that scene. That is why the gofer in Caddyshack 2 is fake.

Very Carefully
The gopher is animatronic, not real.
Sorry to spoil your fun but it was animation!
The gopher was Animatronic and created by John Dykstra.
