This film was originally written to star King Kong, as Rankin/Bass Productions had provided Toho with the license to the character in order to produce a tie-in film for Toei's animated TV series The King Kong Show (1966), which they co-produced.

Toho and Rankin/Bass would then go on to co-produce King Kong Escapes (1967), a film that was more in line with what Rankin/Bass wanted.
