On-screen text
This movie took 15 years to make
It might be one of the last films made almost entirely by hand
But the craziest part is how much time they spent making just one character
The artists built 236 puppets and 132 sets by hand
Then they move the puppets little by little taking a picture after every move to bring them to life on screen
But their biggest challenge was a massive golden eagle
Its wings stretched nearly 5 feet across and thousands of feathers had to be attached one by one
And making that one character alone took an unbelievable 3000 hours
