Creator Backlash: Don Bluth has disowned this movie, primarily for its terrible animation.
Executive Meddling: MGM/UA took over the distribution of the film late in its production, after Warner Bros. disowned Bluth's studio because of the failures of Thumbelina and A Troll In Central Park. Scenes were then cut, characters were removed, and voices had to be re-recorded. Bluth was so upset with the results that he opted to pull an Alan Smithee and have his name taken off the credits, and accepted an offer to work for Fox Animation, where he finally had a brief change of fortune.
