The climax of the film—a circus performance in London set to Katy Perry’s "Firework"—is often cited as one of the most visually stunning sequences in DreamWorks history. The use of stereoscopic 3D was praised for adding genuine depth and energy to the action, rather than serving as a mere gimmick. The animators utilized psychedelic imagery and fluid motion to create a "circus of the future" that felt grand, immersive, and emotionally resonant.
