    • Trivia
      The gigantic blimp (airship) was a French dirigible called "The Hyperion". It was named in honor of 2719 Hyperion Avenue, Los Angeles, the site of Walt Disney's first studio. Hyperion is originally the Greek Titan of the sun.
    • Goofs
      Despite Ivarsson's claim that the Vikings speak old Norse, they actually speak a mix of modern Scandinavian languages. Modern Icelandic would have been closer to the authentic tongue.
