## Production

### Animation

Terry Ward stated that the animation would "top that of the series" and "would be much better than what you see on TV".

While the film was animated by 20th Century Fox Animation, the animation was mainly outsourced to Bardel Entertainment in Canada; according to studio executive Barry Ward, stating that "they were more than an ink-and-paint/layout studio". Additionally, the animation was outsourced to Saerom Animation in Seoul, South Korea and Wang Film Productions in Taipei, Taiwan.

The team of animation directors was supervised by Chris Cuddington and Oliver Callahan, lead by Genndy Tartakovsky, and directed by Frank Andrina, Zeon Davush, Robert Alvarez, John Rice, Allen Wilzbach and Joanna Romersa, all animation directors for the series, respectively.

The layouts for the movie were done between Studio B Productions in Canada.
