Trivia[]
- In 1967, the 6th Japan Telefilm Technology Award for this episode was given.
- The English Dub recognizes that Leo goes by a different name than what he used to. The dub plays around with this idea that Leo used to be called, "Kimba" so the Mammoth (Pachyderma) corrects herself. When shes corrects herself, the voice actress mistakenly mispronounces the first two letters of "Kimba" by using a long "i" vowel sound instead of a short one.
