Production
In contrast to the computer-animated film, the series is 2D-animated. The series' creators wanted to make it more "cartoonish", but found doing "squash and stretch" in CG too expensive for television.[9] Different animation technique also helped the series to stand out from the feature film, which was concurrently shown on Netflix.[9] The first three episodes were animated in Toon Boom Harmony by Vancouver's Bardel Entertainment.[10][9] DreamWorks soon found that Harmony was not the best fit for animating scenes that contained multiple characters at once.[9] The rest of the episodes were traditionally hand-drawn by South Korean studios: EMation, NE4U, and Dong Woo Animation.[9]
