Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jean Image was a stubborn independent who refused Disney's commercial formulas, making this a rare surviving example of defiant 1970s French animation.
The Baron Munchausen tales originated with real German nobleman Hieronymus von Münchhausen, whose actual modest life was hijacked by fictionalized stories he never authorized.
