The film was shown in Cuba as early as 1943, and then reached Spain in 1945. Allegedly there was a conflict over the copyright to Pinocchio, which was claimed by Walt Disney , for whom Carlos Véjar, Jr. previously worked. The version of Pinocchio by Salvador Bartolozzi, however, dates back to the 1910s. Numerous Spanish exiles who worked in the Mexican film industry after fleeing the Spanish Civil War were involved in the making of the film .
