Did you know
• Following the release of this film, Vrungel became a colloquial name in Russia, a kind of Baron Munchausen.
• Many backgrounds in this animation (such as the ocean, waves, etc.) had been filmed in real life and were rear-projected behind the characters.
• The film features very amazing 3-D turns of the backgrounds that were entirely hand-drawn. The effect is that the "camera" takes the viewer for a ride while the action takes place.
