Interesting facts

Cassiopeia is a 1996 Brazilian animated feature film, produced by NDR Filmes and released by PlayArte Pictures in Brazil on February 1, 1996. It is an adventure film about the invasion of planet Ateneia by intruders trying to steal their energy.

Development

Production began in 1992 with environment and character modelling and the creation of the script. Animation began in 1993, and the image-generation work was completed in 1995. The soundtrack was finished later that year, and the film was first released in Brazilian cinemas on February 1, 1996.

The film was animated using Crystal Graphics’ Topas Animator, running on seventeen 486 DX2–66 computers. The first character model was made on a 20 MHz 386 SX. Cassiopeia's animation team was composed of seven computer animators, three traditional animators (who served as consultants and directors of animation), and some freelancers. Mid-way through production some of the computers were stolen, requiring some scenes to be re-animated.
