a.
John Travolta
was offered the role of Ren, but turned it down.
b.
The screenplay was started by
Harlan Ellison
, who wrote the novella on which it is based. Ellison encountered writers block, and so producer

d.
To create the animation, over 85,000 hand-inked and painted cells were created and composited with the live-action backdrops, live-action characters, and hand-animated tone mattes (shading) and cast shadows using optical film printers. NO computer animation was used in creating the animations. Some scenes involved up to 100 individual film elements. Any live-action that had to be later composited was shot in VistaVision to take advantage of the double-area frame of the horizontal 35mm format. The finished film thus does not suffer from the increased grain that plagued previous live-action/animation combos such as
Mary Poppins
