One of them worked as a contractor for six months as they were taking a break from their own independent animated feature project. Another stated that Brad Bird briefly revived it as a hand drawn animated film at Warner Bros just before the pandemic. It apparently switched to CGI when it was brought over to Skydance Animation in mid to late 2021.

Some very interesting implications about this being the studio's first film outsourced to another studio.. The previous two films they made (Luck and Spellbound) were made at the Madrid studio with support work from their Connecticut satellite studio (where Blue Sky's former offices were). Did their films grow to have such big budgets that they decided to cut costs DWA-style? or did Brad want animation production to be situated entirely in the USA/Canada?
