The rest of the disc’s bonus material is more in-depth details about topics and ideas discussed in the audio commentaries.However, the short interviews with Tippett on influences and inspirations and the two-part behind-the-scenes documentaries by his daughter Maya Tippet emphasise how much passion and enthusiasm was poured into the project through these brief glimpses of the crew at work. The goal of this column is not to say whether a film is good or bad and worth picking up or not—I would like to highlight the discs that go the extra mile and provide film fans with enough tasty tidbits to satisfy even the hungriest of cinephiles. Both directors are well-versed in stop-motion and use that as a springboard to get into the subtle nuances of the technical challenges that this form of animation brings. I can’t imagine anyone better equipped to dive into this project than Del Toro, and he certainly doesn’t disappoint.

Decades after the success of Tippett Studio forced production into stasis, a group of animators at Tippett Studio came upon boxes of shelved props and puppets.
