Interesting facts

Deer Friend , also known as Fawn Story or The Tale of the Deer, is a 1991 Japanese film co-written and directed by Yukihiro Sawada. It was released in Japan on April 20, 1991, where it was distributed by Toho.

Production

Filming took place mainly in Kushiro, Shibecha, Shibetsu and Betsukai in Hokkaido. It took over a year to shoot the changing of the seasons and the growth of Lucky and Kenichi. Cinematographer Akira Shiizuka was a specialist in animal photography who shot several animal-related films, including the 1983 blockbuster Antarctica. Editor Akira Suzuki had also worked on Antarctica.

The Shibecha Line in the film is based on the Shibetsu Line and Shibetsu Station, which operated until 1989. The train scenes were shot on the Senmō Main Line, and Tōro Station served as the fictional, defunct terminal where Kenichi hides Lucky.
