Trivia

It was writer, producer, and director Rob Marshall 's intention, right from the beginning, to use hand-drawn animation for the animation sequences. This was due to his love for hand-drawn animation, and also to pay homage to the first movie. The Disney executives, on the other hand, initially wanted this movie to have computer animation for its animated sequences, which infuriated Marshall. He then fought hard to convince the Disney executives to let him use hand-drawn animation, and he also argued why it would be the right choice to use for this movie. Ultimately, the Disney executives gave in and allowed Marshall to use hand-drawn animation. See more
