About the film distribution
Karel Zeman was inspired in his visual process by Edouard Riou's and Léon Benett's engravings which illustrated the original edition of Verne's novels. Two errors of the script occured in the course of filming: the son of the public prosecutor Dufek is addressed as Tomáš by his friends, but his mother mentions him as Jaroušek. The name of the editor of the Světozor magazine is Marek in some scenes and Ardan in another. The opening animated part of the film captures several historical periods in abbreviated form; what all the events have in common is that adults are angry with little boys.
