What's left behind the scenes
- The animated film is based on the novel by Jean-Pierre Andrevon, “The Men-Machines Against Gandahar” (Les hommes-machines contre Gandahar, 1969).
- This cartoon was adapted for the American audience by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
- The film was shot in North Korea.
- Rene Lalou conceived of an adaptation of Jean-Pierre Andrevon's novel "People-Machines Against Gandahar" as early as the seventies, but initially, things did not go well. There was only enough money for a ten-minute cartoon, the team dispersed, and the project had to be postponed. Lalou did not abandon his dream of adapting this story and realized it in the late eighties.
- René Laloux conceived the film adaptation of Jean-Pierre Andrevon's novel 'Fantastic Planet' (Machine-Men vs. Gandhara) back in the 1970s, but things didn't go well at first. There was only enough money for a ten-minute short, the team disbanded, and the project had to be postponed.
