Galaxie took the property to various animation companies with [[Nelvana]] showing the greatest understanding and developed the project there with executive producer [[Steven E. de Souza]] writing both the [[Bible (screenwriting)|series bible]] and [[Television pilot|pilot episode]] to show to [[CBS]] who approved the pitch. Kitchen and Schultz were very involved with Nelvana in developing the series, and while Schultz did have creative [[Veto|veto power]] he rarely used it as he trusted the Nelvana staff and his only adamant point was in the designs of the [[Dinosaur|dinosaurs]] as he wanted to avoid the older "tail dragging" designs and instead present them as much more horizontal. |
