Rather than rely on CGI, Tim Burton wanted the forty squirrels in the Nut Room to be real. The animals were trained everyday for ten weeks before filming commenced. They began their coaching while newborns, fed by bottles to form relationships with human trainers. The squirrels were each taught how to sit upon a little blue bar stool, tap, and then open a walnut and deposit its "meat" onto a conveyor belt. "Utimately, the scene was supplemented by CGI and animatronics, but for the close-ups and the main action, they're the real thing", Burton said.
