Around film
- the film is produced by Ray Harryhausen, the most important creator of visual special effects: the Gulliver's Travels , Jason and Argonautes (its chief of work in 1963), a million years before J.C , the fantastic Voyage of Sinbad , etc
- In 1981, its know-how started to appear anachronistic while preserving the seduction of artisanal work. The humor of the situations, the voluntarily supported treatment of mythology (directly inspired of Jason and Argonautes ) and the quality of interpretation ensured moreover a great business success to him.
- Alan Dean Foster has novelized the film in 1981.
