According to producer Chuck Beaver, all of the game's FMV cutscenes were originally planned to be made in 3D using the in-game models. Late in development, Fox requested that they be changed to 2D animation in the style of the TV show, as they felt the 3D-to-2D approach didn't produce results that were "on-model". These 3D cutscenes still appear in the Nintendo DS version, though with some scenes, music, and sound effects removed, likely because they were unfinished.
