Production
With a budget of 22 million SEK, The Journey to Melonia was the then most expensive Swedish animated film ever made, much because of the long production process from 1982 to 1989. When making the script, Per Åhlin and Karl Rasmussen would pick lines from The Tempest they thought they might have use of, and then put them together into a coherent synopsis. An influence for the visual style was Jules Verne's Propeller Island from 1895.
