The challenge here, according to BBDO’s Bill Bruce, was to capture the urgency and physicality of a live-action performance while somehow remaining true to the spirit of Cuban cartoonist Antonio Prohias’ little cold-war masterpieces. Oversized sets, blue screen, costumed performers, miniatures, puppeteers and masks designed by Stan Winston were all brought together and enhanced with CG elements in two months of post at Method. Check the Behind the Scenes feature on the DVD for on-set photos.
