Platoon (film) Dye, who played Bravo company's commander Captain Harris, is a U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran who also served as the film's technical advisor. The movie is "Dedicated to the men who fought and died in the Vietnam War." The film score was by Georges Delerue. Music used in the film includes "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, and "Okie From Muskogee" by Merle Haggard (which is an anachronism, as the film is set in 1967 but Haggard's song was not released until 1969). During a scene in the "Underworld," the soldiers sing along to
The Works (film) constraints or the pressure of a release date. While progress on "The Works" did manage to advance the level of computer animation technology significantly, the film itself was in development hell for nearly a decade and was eventually abandoned for several reasons. The staff was composed almost entirely of technical experts, such as engineers and programmers, with directors and editors considered unnecessary. When NYIT, with Schure as a director, produced a 2D feature known as "Tubby the Tuba", the film did very poorly and shook their confidence in their ability to produce a film that would succeed critically or financially.
