Interesting Facts
- Creation of the film required about 800 kg of soviet plasticine. Because of a withered colors the plasticine was dye-colored.
- The music in the third part of the film was intended to sound in the ordinary tempo, but its total length appeared to be longer than the animation created (8 minutes instead of 5). While Tatarskiy was in doubt the voices arrived. Then the genius decision came when Tatarskiy remembered how the gramophone-recorded voice of Lenin was restored by varying speed of phonation. He griped the recording to the necessary length (5 min) and the song acquired its recognisable sounding.
- The music in the third part is borrowing heavily from the Irish folk song Whiskey in the Jar. The bridge between the first and the second verse of the part (before appearance of the fox) is based on George Harrison's song My Sweet Lord.
