With a story by George Lucas, "Strange Magic" is directed by Gary Rydstrom, produced by Mark S. Miller and executive-produced by Lucas. It features a screenplay by David Berenbaum, Irene Mecchi and Rydstrom.

Music producer Marius de Vries ("Moulin Rouge") serves as both the musical director and composer.
