The Charles Solomon book The Disney that Never Was describes the planning stages of the production on page 84: "A crew headed by Marc Davis and Ken Anderson spent months developing the story and preparing sheaves of preliminary art. Davis feels that his vivid reproduction sketches rank among his best work at the studio."
