Production notes

The first animated feature made in Japan after World War II.

Episodes of "The Arabian Nights" were the basis of the film.

The complete version had been "lost" for many years. Until a Fukuoka resident came forward in 2004, the only copy known to exist was a 37-minute version kept at the National Film Center in Tokyo. The resident donated an almost complete version to the Fukuoka City Public Library, which worked with the NFC to restore the complete version.
