In the context of the principal authors' other works, it is notable that this is not the only Andersen adaptation that this pair animated – Grimault and Prévert also adapted "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" as "Le Petit Soldat" ("The Little Soldier") (1947), which is included in "La Table tournante" ("The turning table") on the deluxe edition of "The King and the Mockingbird." In the early 1970s, Prévert and Grimault also made two dark animations, one apocalyptic – "Le Chien mélomane" ("The Melomaniac Dog") (1973), which features a dog wielding a violin that caused destruction at a distance and leaves the world a gray waste (as in the end of "Le Roi"); both are collected in "La Table tournante".
