This film is edited together from the first season of the Madicken (1979) TV series but only about half as long. Two episodes were completely cut: One where Mrs. Nilsson, Madicken's neighbor, testaments her body to science after death and one when they celebrate Christmas. Also, a narrator was added, namely Astrid Lindgren herself, the writer of the Madicken books.
Despite being released after Du är inte klok, Madicken (1979) the stories in this film are set before that, as this is edited from the previously released first season of the Madicken (1979) TV series.
After directing Bröderna Lejonhjärta (1977) Olle Hellbom got very tired and decided to step down as director and only produce the two Madicken movies. Göran Graffman was chosen as the new director because Hellbom was impressed with his work on the TV series La pietra bianca (1973).
