Trivia
Was going to make his director debut by directing the feature film Haunted Holiday for Warner Bros. Animation, that was going to have Tim Curry as the voice of Baron Azuro and based on the famous ghost story "Bluebeard". But production was shut down by Warner Bros after the failure of The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot (1998) and the poor box office performance of The Iron Giant (1999). After that, Ralph quit Warner Bros. Animation with Brad Bird to join Pixar.
