Wolf Tracer Studios, a computer animation company also known for producing the 2004 direct-to-video feature Wolf Tracer’s Dinosaur Island (also starring Mark Hamill) and the full-length animated pilot Not Quite Right by Crappco, was hired to make the film’s animation. Her father trusted the animators, to the point where he spent around $500,000 USD on production, and never checked in on their work. His first time seeing the animation was on the night the movie premiered on television.”
