The Pagemaster took three years to produce; the animation in the film was produced by Turner Feature Animation, headed by David Kirschner and recently spun off from Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. The crew included animators who were veterans of productions such as An American Tail (1986) (also produced by David Kirschner and composed by James Horner), The Land Before Time (1988) and Aladdin (1992). This was one of the first films to feature live-action, traditional animation, and CGI animation all together. One scene involving a computer-generated dragon made from paint was used, a challenge for the filmmakers. All of the fictional works featured in the film were created and first published before January 1, 1923, making them a part of the public domain in most countries. The theme songs to the movie are "Dream Away", sung by Babyface and Lisa Stansfield, and "Whatever You Imagine", sung by Wendy Moten.
lyrics
Whatever you imagine
Can one day come to be
There are dreams to awaken
Roads to be taken
Follow them, and they will set you free
Whatever you imagine
Is where your heart can go
There are worlds filled with treasure
Time without measure
To learn whatever you may need to know
Imagine
And you and I can fly pas the sun
And leave all our doubts and fears behind us
You see that's just what can happen
If you look look inside your mind
There's no limit to the wonders you can find
Whatever you imagine
Can make your life brand new
There are miracles waiting
So keep concentrating
And I promise you, that if you do
Whatever you imagine, can come true
Whatever you imagine (whatever you imagine)
Can make your life brand new
There are miracles waiting
So keep concentrating
And I promise you, that if you do
Whatever you imagine will come true
