Production notes

This series was the first Disney show to be fully animated in Flash. Creator Dave Wasson said he chose to animate it in Flash because he "was convinced it was a good way to go. I had done a few commercials in Flash and a few short films for a museum in Singapore. We were very lucky because we crewed up for the show when Warner Bros. Mucha Lucha! was shutting down, so we got to hire some amazing Flash artists. I ve always maintained that in the right hands, you shouldn t be able to see any difference between Flash and regular hand-drawn 2D."
