  • Release date :
    Sweden - December 14, 1964
  • While the credits mention Sture Ström as "Vaktpost", an old Swedish poster including the cast mentions Hans Lindgren for that role.
    Similarly, while singer Carl-Axel Hallgren is mentionned as the Minstrel singing the opening song on the poster, Lars Lennartsson is credited as either "Balladeer" or "Trubadur" (Troubadour) in the Swedish credits, which let think he's the Minstrel. On the poster, however, Lars Lennartsson is mentionned as the "Announcer". Carl-Axel Hallgren is also credited on the 1986 Rental VHS, but not in the VHS and DVD credits.
  • Peter Schildt was only 13 years-old when he dubbed Wart/Arthur.
  • Lars Ekborg, who dubbed Merlin when he was only 38 years old, died 5 years after the film release, in 1969, because of liver cancer.
  • Carl-Axel Hallgren was credited as Karl Axel Hallgren.
  • Hanny Schedin, the voice of the Scullery Maid, was credited as Hanny Sjödin.
