Quick Overview

Trivia:After a four-year period of story development, animation took just over one year to complete. This remarkably short production span was possible due to new efficiencies in the production process (such as video tests and computer-assisted layouts and graphics), and an increased emphasis on story development prior to the start of production.

The score was written by composer Henry Mancini, who also collaborated on two of the three featured songs. The third song, Let Me Be Good To You, was written and performed by Melissa Manchester.

One hundred and twenty five artists were involved in making the film.

An innovative application of computer technology can be seen in the climactic scene where Basil faces Ratigan in a final confrontation inside the turning and thrashing gearworks of Big Ben. The 54 moving gears, winches, ratchets, beams, and pulleys were literally drawn by the computer and create a unique background for the characters, who had been animated in the usual way.
