The film consisted of re-edited footage from the TV series.

It was produced by Beta Film, one of the German co-producers of the TV series after the success of their first compilation movie Pippi Longstocking, using scenes and episodes not used in the first film.

Despite its title, the film has little-to-nothing to do with the book of the same name in terms of story.

The movie was eventually released in Sweden in 1973, where it has been poorly received, due to its disjointed continuity compared to the TV series.
