I thought it was a big deal that it was powered by electricity, seeing
that when I read the book for the first time I was fascinated and
impressed with electricity.  I still am, for that matter.

However, this was one of the more minor things that Disney did wrong,
beginning with casting Peter Lorre twenty years too late when he was
just phoning in all his performances.
