Development
Sav! The World released a short movie entitled "Molly, Star Racer" in 2001 set
to a Y&Co. remix of Ayumi Hamasaki songs. The trailer already showed a mix of 3D
and 2D though at the time 3D was still predominant. It featured many of the
characters with unfinalized designs including Jordan, Don Wei, Maya, Aikka,
Satis, Toros, Sül, Ondai, Ning & Skun, Furter and of course, Molly racing across
various places in the Oban landscape featured later in the series. This short
movie won the 2001 LEAF Awards and was nominated for best editing in the 2002
Imagina Awards.
The search for financing for the series was a long process since Yeatman-Eiffel
refused to negotiate with a party that would have more control than that of the
creator (including, but not limited to the option of changing the main character
into a boy). So Savin Yeatman-Eiffel created his own company, "Sav! The World
Productions", to create this series without having to conflict with potential
investors. In the end it took him a total of nine years to complete the series
(the concept was created in 1997, with initial production having begun in Paris
is 2000, later moving to Tokyo in 2003).
While this is Sav! The World's first TV series, the company has previously
existed as a maker of various short films (including the aforementioned Molly,
Star Racer).
