Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Disney's first fully computer-animated feature—no hand-drawn elements at all, which explains the slightly soulless energy.
The film's production spanned so long that the CGI looked dated on release; it started in 1988 as stop-motion before becoming a tech demo nobody asked for.
