==Cancelled US release==
[[Peter Fernandez]] was working on an English dub for this film, but it was ultimately cancelled by American Distributors for reasons unknown, yet possibly due to the scene where Emperor Frostkill gets stabbed in the chest by the Sword of Salvation  and thought it was too dark for Western viewers, namely children.
