Did you know

• The gigantic blimp (airship) was a French dirigible called "The Hyperion". It was named in honor of 2719 Hyperion Avenue, Los Angeles, the site of Walt Disney's first studio. Hyperion is originally the Greek Titan of the sun.

• A replica of the Hyperion airship from the movie was planned for the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, in an unrealized section called Discovery Bay. The original plan was to have the blimp fly out from a replica of Captain Brieux's hangar. Designs were adapted for use in the Discoveryland section at Disneyland Resort Paris, where a replica of the film's French dirigible is an attraction.

• The movie was released in cinemas on a double bill, supported by the 25-minute animated Disney short Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too (1974).
