"Rhythm & Hues, which did a large number of CG animated shots for the movie, used Massive Software's Autonomous Agent 3D Animation and Digital Stunts system for a total of 132 Massive shots, involving approximately 450,000 total characters such as - gryphons, centaurs, cheetahs, rhinos, bears, gorillas, and goat-legged fawns. Additionally, the studio built 50 different Massive agents and used them together with custom-recorded motion capture clips to populate the scenes.
