1. The sparkling texture of the skin of the heroes cost the animators a whole fortune. Initially, it was assumed that the sparkling skin will be only for Joy, but in the end, developers, risking a significant increase in the planned budget, applied this texture to all the characters. Ralph Aiglston, a cartoon production designer, in one of his interviews said:
"We worked on the idea of her [Joy] twinkling with the effect of effervescent, sparkling bubbles of champagne for 8 months. And they came to the conclusion that we can not afford it. When the director of Pixar saw the flicker of Joy, he said: "It's great." Apply the flicker to all the characters. "It was necessary to see it! The main technical staff immediately got down to business, the budget was draining away, but it was worth it."

"We discussed this in the course of the work and it turned out that this is one of those things that drove us a bit into a corner." We added a memory later when they did a song that got stuck in her head. "Our argument was that Joy was not would believe the memories that they will be OK without her participation, she should be there too. "
