Regarding this special, New Pony Productions' Ron Bowman, producer/director/writer of "Clash of the Americas," said, "This project involved a great deal of animation depicting prehistoric creatures—the demand for animation here was intense. Ricardo and his team at Pixeldust Studios and I needed to come up with a new approach; working jointly we developed a new way to present prehistoric animation in an unusual style, with a kind of 'graphic novel' look and feel. The animations evolve from frame to frame, and are dramatic and immersive."
