Watching Sound of Music with Ella, who is four. We get to the scene where Maria comes to dinner and the children have left a 'gift' on her chair:
Ella: Why did she yell?
Jenny: She sat on a pine cone.
Ella: No, a porcupine.
Jenny: It wasn't a porcupine, it was a pine cone.
Ella (becoming passionate): It WAS a porcupine.
Jenny: No --
Ella: I SAW it MOVE!
What could I say? It did move. . .

it could have been a porcupinecone (AKA PCPC). they have been known to roost in trees and frighten young children. I shot one when I was three.
then again, PCPCs tend to be high-maintenance and demand high union fees on set. my guess is that, given the advanced cinematic technology available to the filmmakers, it is more likely that a pinecone moved with the mechanical aid of either string or maria's bottom.
