This was Mary Ellis' final film before her death on January 30, 2003 at the age of 105.
The film takes place in 1699.
For this film, "Dynamation"--the name of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion effects technique--was rebranded "Super-Dynamation". Only one other Harryhausen film has this brand: his subsequent film, Mysterious Island (1961).
As of this film's production, both Ray Harryhausen (the creator of special visual effects) and producer Charles H. Schneer decided to make their permanent homes in London. This was not only because of Harryhausen's love for the exotic European locales he would use in all of his future projects, but it was also cheaper to make his kind of movies there. Harryhausen lived in London ever after, whereas Schneer lived there for 45 years before moving to Florida in 2005, four years before his own passing.
The magician's spoiled and malevolent daughter is named Shrike, a carnivorous bird known for torturing its prey before eating it.
"Dr. Lemuel Gulliver: ...you don't need Reldresal or me to fight a war! Emperor of Lilliput: Of course I don't need a prime minister to fight a war! But I need one to blame in case we lose it."
"Emperor of Lilliput: I hate justice, but I love law!"
