The animated film is based on a story by Kir Bulychyov about Alisa (Alice) Seleznyova, a young girl living in the second half of the 21st century. It is the third animation to be based on one of the Alice stories, with the first having been The Mystery of the Third Planet (1981).

The film premiered in Star City, Russia on February 12, 2009.[2] It was widely released in Russia on February 19 with 250 film prints.[2]
Some of the scenes were done using Flash animation.[4] The part of Gromozeka was played by Aleksey Kolgan, who is also the Russian voice of Shrek.[5] Natalya Guseva, who played "Alice" in a famous earlier live-action series, has a minor role as the spaceship captain.
