Supervising Effects Animator Dorse A. Lanpher was responsible for most of the effects scenes. He and his tiny crew of three effects animators managed to fill the movie with the needed sparks, fire, shadows, and water. The multiplane techniques he adapted for the project include a pseudo-hologram and the use of backlit animation making every dewdrop sparkle or supernatural amulet glow with a brilliance never seen before in animated movies since Fantasia (1940). Shortcuts in the movie include the photographing of three-dimensional model sets and objects for transfer to animation and the xeroxing of individual cels although, unlike the later Disney movies, the cels are linked by hand to eliminate the animators' original sketchy lines. These time-saving devices do not, however, incorporate the use of television's limited animation techniques or total rotoscoping.
