[1] A feature-length English dub of this series was made in the early 1980s, and broadcast on cable TV in the United States.

Some episodes of Saban's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn were released on Region 2 DVD by Maximum Entertainment Ltd. in the 2000s.

Masako Nozawa, who played Huckleberry, later played the main character Tom in the 1980 anime adaptation of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, also originally written by Mark Twain (broadcast on the same station's World Masterpiece Theater), and went on to star in two other works originally written by Twain.

At the end of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Huck is adopted by the Widow Douglas in return for saving her life.

Huck is kidnapped by his father but manages to fake his own death and escape to Jackson's Island, where he coincidentally meets up with Jim, a slave of the Widow Douglas' sister, Miss Watson.
