This allowed the animator to capture the look of the weight-transfer that is unique to a horse's gait. Sir Lionel's Horse utilized a custom-created semi-circular rig which transferred the central pivot point of the horse to the outside of the puppet.Only one elephant puppet was created for the film.The elephant saddle, or howdah, which carried Sir Lionel and Adelina, was on a 2-axis motorized rig to provide illusion of the bounce of the elephant's walk.Uses a gas-powered spring to assist in lifting the hips.
Has an interior rack and pinion neck for head lift.It features 100% independently sympathetic toenails. Has a specialty stunt foot created with open cavities to create the illusion of weight and compressed flesh.

The film heightens this unique, almost exaggerated color (with the exception of the somewhat colorless Optimates Club, which is stuck in its very definitive 'black and white' world view).
This 'rule' allows for a consistency across continents and cultures and creates the unique world of the film. The "Nessie" monster's eyes are in the top third of her face. For example, Sir Lionel's long legs are two thirds of his frame. All of these stylised shapes and designs can be broken down into a rule of thirds.
