Claims to be the "world's first fully integrated puppet feature film".
Puppeteer Bern Ogodnik claims that it takes up to ten years just to perfect the movement of the hands of a marionette puppet, and that perfectly moving all the strings of the entire body can maybe be learned in twenty-five years.
The filmmakers wanted all the world's cultures to be represented in the movie's names, designs, et cetera.
Czech puppeteers all refused to work on the movie when told how much the puppets had to do.
This movie went seven million Danish kroner over budget (approximately one million US dollars).
