HL: My favorite details in the film were the foxes on their tippy toes, and the movement of the fur. Were there any limitations working in stop motion?
WA: The limitations were with our budget! We had to be economical.

HL: Stop motion animations seem so fun to make. Did the actors get to interact with each other when you were recording the voices?
WA: Yes, we recorded them on a farm together in Connecticut; however, we often met again in various little rooms and booths around the world to record new lines and scenes.
