It was released in 1999, and won the Award for Best Animated Feature Film at the fifth Kecskemét Animation Film Festival.[1] It was released theatrically in the UK by Miracle Communications in its original English-language version in 2000, featuring the voices of Rik Mayall, John Hurt, Michael York, Sally Anne Marsh, and Michael Gambon.
