  • Release date :
    Sweden - December 2, 1978
    In Sweden, the film was not recommended for children under 7 years-old.
  • *It seems the film was censored during its release in 1978. About two minutes of the movie, considered too scary for children, were taken out. Ten years later, a new censorship was made, with the same original censored cut, and removing an extra 51 seconds. The 1997 and 2000 VHS were partially restored, but some parts were still missing because they had never been dubbed into Swedish. Only in 2002, the movie was released in its original length, with the missing dialogue finally dubbed.
  • Lena Ericsson was first thought of as the vocalist for the soloist song - but Blake Todd, the Vice President of Disney Character Voices at the time, asked for a star-talent to be tried out, mentioning to the Swedish team the success of the German version with Wenche Myhre - who will end up being chosen for the Swedish version as well.
