Anecdotes
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: Strit og Stumme (1987), Oliver et Olivia (1990) and Aberne og det hemmelige våben (1995).

Crédits fous
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.

Versions alternatives
The US Just For Kids video release cuts out the Danish opening credits, a scene where a polar bear tries to get a killed seal ashore and a scene where the seagull defecates on the whaler after he is tied up. All other prints of the film keep these scenes intact.

So what if it's traumatizing?

Looking back on my favorite movies from my childhood--this, The Brave Little Toaster, Little Nemo--I loved them all so much yet I found them all extremely disturbing. As many other people have implied, this movie is a bit scary, and deals with some pretty heavy themes. But you know what? That's why it's a good movie. That's why, seeing it many years later, it isn't just some crappy kid's movie--this movie and the others I have mentioned have stuck with me my whole life. The fact that they are a bit disturbing is no reason to say that kid's shouldn't see them. Because you know what? I wouldn't be the person that I am if I hadn't seen movies like this as a kid. Movies like this challenge the kid in ways that things like the Care Bears never will, and in the long run, I think that is a good thing.

That aside though, I really believe that this is a great, beautiful movie. You can tell that the people who made it really wanted to make it--it wasn't just another movie in a long line of movies they were under contract to make, like Disney is today. Even in Disney's glory day's none of their stories were original, and this story is extremely original. I credit the makers of this movie much more than the makers of The Lion King. The animation is quite good and has a very unique look to it, the story is very interesting and has more than one layer at work, the music is beautiful--the tone of the guitar in this movie's soundtrack has stuck with me all these years. The weakest link, probably, is the voice acting, which is by no means BAD. But this movie was in fact translated into English from Danish, so replacement voice crew often loses something.

All in all, I think this is a wonderful movie. This is the kind of movie I would want to show my kids, because even if its a little traumatizing, well, so is life. To give your kids only some idealized world through harmless movies with little conflict is much more dangerous, in my opinion.
