Disney actually fired director Walter Murch about a week into production due to budget concerns. The studio found dailies lacking and Murch's slow shooting pace disheartening. Murch contacted friends Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for help, and all three directors lobbied Disney to rehire Murch. Lucas even offered to take over directing himself should Murch fall behind schedule. Murch finished the film on schedule, though while in post-production studio management changed. The new executives had little faith in the movie, and doomed it with limited promotion and a short theatrical run.
