-There were several changes from the book to the film. The novel takes place in 1960, but the movie takes place in 1907. Instead of Prince Patrick Island, the film island is north of Ellesmere Island. Several additional characters and the Hyperion airship appear in the film, but not in the novel. also, the biggest deviation in the film is that Freyja survives to live (probably) happy with Donald, while in the book he dies tragically, sacrificing herself to save Donald and Sir Anthony.
-The movie, which was produced by Walt Disney Pictures , was released alongside the animated film Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too in a roadshow package for families.
-The film received an Academy Award for Best Art Direction for its Art Direction/Scenic Design by ( Peter Ellenshaw , John B. Mansbridge , Walter H. Tyler , Al Roelofs , and Hal Gausman ).
-A sequel was planned, entitled The Lost Ones , based more closely on the original novel, but was abandoned when it became apparent that Island on Top of the World would not be a box office success.
-Hyperion is the name of the airship that appears in the film. The airship only appears for a relatively small portion of the film's total duration, but it plays a prominent role, both as an unforgettable setting and in the film's plot. Hyperion "lives" today in Disneyland Paris. A life-size Hyperion airship is integrated into the Videopolis theater and cafe complex. Its appearance is slightly more updated and stylized than the ship in the film.
