The characters were made into 3D hand-crafted wooden models made by a group of animators at Cosgrove Hall Films Studios in Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Manchester in the United Kingdom.[1] The network initially turned it down until 10 years later when the series was pitched again, but in CGI animation with the characters looking similar to the original short.
