Animation
The film was jointly produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures and Gaumont Animation in Paris, France. Story development took place at Fox Searchlight Pictures in Century City, Los Angeles, California, with pre-production done at production (including the character layouts and posing) done at Gaumont Animation. Studio Babelsberg in Berlin, Germany worked together on animation with additional scenes animated by Halas & Batchelor in Gloucestershire, England, and Folimage in France and clean-up work done at the main Burbank studio. Additional clean-up/animation was done by Toon Boom Animation.

Director Werner Herzog and the animation team looked to films such as Isle of Dogs and The Great Budapest Hotel for inspiration to what he called "character staging". Greg Tiernan, Eric Beckman, Michael Sinterniklaas, Herman Weigel, and Alain Gagnol each directed the animation for around a quarter of the film under Herzog's supervision, with numerous animators working on other scenes.
