Nippon Animation
The series was produced in 1981 by BRB International and Nippon Animation and it was first broadcast by MBS in Japan, where it began airing on 9 October 1981. One year after its premiere, it was broadcast for the first time in Spain on Televisión Española's Primera Cadena starting on 9 October 1982. The partnership between BRB International and Nippon Animation worked so well, that they collaborated in another successful animated series two years later called "Around the World with Willy Fog".
