Production notes
Combined live action and stop-motion animation.
A decade after its original distribution, William Cayton updated the film with sequences depicting American boys in New York. These were meant to resemble the Czech boys originally shown.
A United States version was distributed in 1960 as both a full-length theatrical feature and a serialized version, with segments about five minutes long, designed for daily TV broadcast.
