Trivia This film uses an unusual technique for cel animation: after the animation is completed on paper, the drawings are photocopied onto card, colored and painted with oil pastels, Indian ink and acrylic, cut out and applied to the cel using double-sided Sellotape. This technique was used again for Jannik Hastrup's next three films: Subway to Paradise (1987), War of the Birds (1990) and The Secret Weapon (1995). See more »

Crazy Credits All of the credits are seen only at the start of the film. The music of Fuzzy builds up throughout. * the sea green text ripples in and out as it draws forward. * The opening title design is set below the water surface with the light rays of the sun surrounding it. The design was in white with a red right drop-shadow. Two whales take their places as "S"s. Being as the film's titular whales, Samson winks his right eye and winks again to see Sally. Sally winks her eye twice and looks at Samson. (In the American English-dubbed version, it does not fade out and cuts directly to start the story.) * the two red outlined fish pass by in a diagonal from the bottom-right to the top-left in-between the first two crew credits [the "Adaptors"]. * Bubbles burst up at the bottom-right in a transition from "Background" credit. * an orange outlined fish passes by in a diagonal from the near-bottom-right to the top-right. * The zooming ends at the directors' credits, and cuts to the begin the story.
