Eric Thompson didn't understand French, and never read any translation of the original story lines.
For budgetary reasons, on The Magic Roundabout television series, Eric Thompson provided the voices for ALL the characters. In this spin-off feature film he decided to not voice the character of the Blue Queen and instead gave the role to actress Fenella Fielding as he wanted that character to have it's own distinctive voice to echo it's own mysterious and sinister personality.
Footage of Dougal boarding the train from the early part of the film, is seen on a television in the film Stardust (1974).
