Production notes
This TV series ran for 40 episodes. This series aired on Fuji Television as part of Nippon Animation's World Masterpiece Theater from January 13, 1991 to December 28, 1991.
Based on the true story of the von Trapp family, Maria Augusta Kutschera von Trapp's "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" (1949), which was the inspiration for the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music."
Like the musical, the series is loosely based on the story, mostly to make it acceptable to a younger audience.
The series was recut into an 85-minute feature-length TV-movie. The story covered more or less the same events and time frame as the live-action 1965 film starring Julie Andrews.
