There is one scene removed. It is the scene where the prince and the other noble men are hunting a fox (Czech version min. 40-41). In the Czech version, the prince shoots and laughs loud, then there is the fox which tries to take out the arrow, a man grabs the fox by her tail, everybody rejoices, the prince jumps down the horse, puts a twig on fox’s wound by his sword (a hunting ritual), and places the sword back into the scabbard, and the man congratulates the prince by shaking his hand. In the Norwegian version, already the laughter is removed, and so is the picture of the suffering fox and the hunting ritual. The final cut does not make much sense as the prince is holding the crossbow while riding a horse and suddenly, he is standing with a sword in his hand.
This scene was removed because it was thought to be too ‘harmful’ for children in Norway. This scene is also the reason why the film is marked as ‘censorship red’ in the historical documents. Interestingly, the German side of the coproduction also wanted to remove the scene. In the end, it was decided to keep the scene in both the Czech and German versions.

Special thanks to Rewind user Åsmund_Utvik for providing these specifications.
