Trivia

Among the things that The Man briefly sees on the furnace are: a 32 kilogram weight, a bat, a full skeleton of a dog, a record player, a soccer trophy, three playing cards (3 of Spades, 7 of Diamonds and 1 of Clubs) and a globe.

Despite main technique used is a clay animation, some of the sequences are drawn. A few shots combine both techniques, such as the plane, which is drawn, launched on a background made out of clay.

Stanislav Sadalskiy was not the first choice for the Narrator, as Liya Akhedzhakova was already cast and fully voiced the part (it is possible that the wife was sill voiced by her). Lyudmila Kopteva suggested Sadalskiy to Aleksandr Tatarskiy.

Stanislav Sadalskiy, despite voicing both Muzhik (The Man) and Narrator is uncredited for the part. It was a part of censorship as he was at the moment under investigation for meeting with a foreigner in the hotel (his sister). At the very end of the end credits Sadalskiy is thanked for "lending" his voice to the production, which seems to be a last moment inclusion, as it is done in a different style then other end credits.

Originally conceived as a spin-off of Plastilinovaya vorona (1981). Muzhik (The Man) was originally meant to be the The Janitor from that cartoon.
