Animation[]
Almost 20 people are working on the animation of this animated series. Throughout the first season, the animated series used traditional animation, and from the second season, the animated series switched to digital ink-and-paint. As Brandon Auman, the new screenwriter for the show, stated: "With the shift from digital ink and paint, the production of new episodes of the animated series has gone much faster, and mistakes have become easier for us to fix and time has been saved." Since 2007, the animation film crew has been using graphic tablets from the Wacom brand. The episode "Spicy Around the Sky", released on September 1, 2007, was the first episode to use the new animation method. In 2009, Drew Edwards stated: “The first season in 1997-1999 was done in an old fashioned way, and we wouldn't like it if we could be wrong, forget to fix it, and it took a lot of time to re-transfer. , then there is more time for free business."
