Leonid Kvinikhidze reported in an interview later that his intention was not a film for kids, but for adults. The fact that it was very well received by children was unexpected for him.
The musical material was recorded by three former members of the band Voskreseniye, Vadim Golutvin, Petr Podgorodetskiy, and Vladimir Voronin.
