What's left behind the scenes
- Olga Meredith's first animated film role where she simply voices a character, rather than sings.
- The film was initially intended to be called “Split” and would have told the story of the division of the kingdom of Lumbria after the king and queen were transformed into monsters. However, it was then decided to give the film a different title, and some plot elements were removed from the script. Had these elements remained in the plot, viewers would have seen, among other things, the separation of the king and queen after many years in an unhappy marriage.
