** In order to avoid setting the story during in the 1930's the shadow of the Second World War, the story is set in the 1950's. This was, however, due to the writers' misconception that the original story was set in 1939, during World War II, seemingly being unaware that Madeline had actually debuted in 1936 in ''The Golden Basket'' and all of her adventures have been set in an unspecified year of the 1930's, meaning the story could have still been set in the 1930's and World War II would not have been mentioned.

In other words, what the filmmakers intended to be a pragmatic adaptation actually ended up just being a SettingUpdate.

The "Leopold is a Soviet spy" thing is a myth. It may be set during when the Cold War was happening, but the conflict is not brought up.
