Production
Japanese anime adaptation of German novels—cultural crossover chaos.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on German author Runer Jonsson's 1963 novel, this Japanese-German co-production became a massive hit across Europe—decades before anime went global.
The 2009 live-action film 'Wickie the Mighty Viking' and its 2011 sequel used CGI so unsettling it made audiences nostalgic for this 1974 animation.
