Daniel's Bad Movie

Daniel's Bad Movie is a 1994 American animated comedy film based on the popular long-running Fox animated television series The Bad Life of Daniel directed by Ward Kimball. It is the first theatrical movie in the franchise and would also be the only film that Michael Bell doesn't voice act in. It also stars most of the television cast including Jeff Bergman, Jean Vander Pyl, and Richard Pyror, with Candi Milo, Dee Bradley Baker, and Bill Farmer replacing Russi Taylor and Michael Bell respectively due to both voice actors being unavailable to record for the film and also featured newer cast members such as Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, John Witherspoon, and Lenny Kravitz. The film follows Daniel Wyatt as he is framed for bombing the town and must go on a quest to clear his name and redeem his image with the help of his friends.

Although previous attempts to create a Daniel film had been made back in the 70's and 80's, they all failed due to the lack of a script of appropriate length and production crew members.

The film was released in the United States on July 29, 1994 to universally positive reviews and was a box office success as well grossing $223 million worldwide over it's $80 million later spawning a film franchise.

Animation
Daniel's Bad Movie was one of the earliest animated productions to use digital technology. Like the series, Film Roman provided animation but it wasn't the only animation service to provide it for the film. 2D animation and background layers were first done on paper before being scanned into Silicon Graphics Image files through Cambridge Animation Systems' software Animo; they were then sent to Cinesite via a File Transfer Protocol, for its animators to color and touch upon in Photoshop and composite into the shots. Unlike previous projects that used the Cineon digital film system, Cinesite were working with the quicker Inferno and Flame systems for Space Jam. The Holly render farm utilized for the film consisted of 16 central processing units, four gigabytes of shared memory, and took up one million dollars of the film's budget, "on top of which the deskside boxes had 256 megabytes of ram to splurge on whatever scene you needed to create and render," explained Privett. This resulted in more brighter and more livid animation than the series.
