DEVELOPMENT ARTWORK
From the sketch book to the silver screen, it took 200+ artists nearly three years to complete the final film. For animation services, Fun Academy turned to industry leader Technicolor (The Little Prince, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie) who completed storyboarding/design in Paris and the actual CG animation in Montreal; just like the real Sgt. Stubby’s adventures a century ago, it took a massive international team to make this mission a success!
