As Disney’s first animated sci-fi movie, it was notable for its story, design, and the talent that went into making it. 

For instance, the art design has often been praised as the most inventive parts of the movie. As one of the few Disney animated films to be shot in widescreen, it allowed the animators to depict more detail and action in a scene.
