Thinking this was an “official communique” from Fox, > Jean MacCurdy (I think it was her) opened the script, loved it, and > eventually Spielberg was given a look at it. > > The three kids got a call one afternoon from Spielberg [and were] > invited to a meeting of the TTA [staff] who asked the kids questions > like, “What do you like about the show, the characters, etc.” They > also worked out their story with the writers into a format which > could be animated.
