The crew brought the penguin on the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] as a crew mascot, and in Rotterdam (while shooting for the [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] movie), the crew placed it behind the big mirror heart where [[Prince]] and [[Cat]] would lie against at the end of [[If I Was Your Girlfriend]], when it was lowered down. The penguin was facing [[Prince]] as the heart came down, to the crew’s enjoyment. |
