- Not all the CUs are animatronic animals: Mark S. Miller, visual effects
- producer for ILM said "We worried about how close to the camera we could
- get our CGI lion before its hair would start to 'fall apart.' If that
- happened, our plan was to cut away quickly to an animatronic lion, as it
- turned out, there's a shot where the CGI lion walks right up to camera
- and passes by. That's our big technical achievement shot right there. We
- never did have to cut." From February 1996 Post
- The article also said CGI and animatronics were used for the lion,
- pelican and bats.
