Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

DEFA's rare foray into children's genre TV, greenlit partly to compete with smuggled Western VHS tapes.

Trivia

The robot costume was repurposed from a scrapped 1984 industrial safety film; Hajo Müller couldn't see through the eyeholes and learned lines by tape recorder.
