Trivia
Some of the "animated" books include images from (or allusions to) Eadweard Muybridge's motion studies, specifically from his eleven-volume study "Animal Locomotion (1885)", featuring his galloping horse, running bison, and studies of walking, jumping, and throwing.
Alternate Versions
The German DVD version has two title cards before the opening credits explaining prior events and the premise of the film.
