Development
Like Racing Stripes, the animals were made and designed by VFX computer graphics known as CG while some animals were made by CGI. Also, all of the real animals were filmed while they hired mouths to move unlike real animals which they bark instead of talk.

All of the animals’ vocalisations were recorded in the studio, and also from movies. Unlike Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, The animals talk but like Spirit, the animals’ thoughts were narrated by the actors, actress and celebrities in an animated film.
