In his own films, Sporn adapted Lewis Carroll for The Hunting of the Snark and Robert Louis Stevenson for A Child's Garden of Verses. A later effort was the 2005 short The Man Who Walked Between Towers (narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal). In the 1980s, he created animated sequences for two Broadway musical versions of films, Woman of the Year (with Lauren Bacall) and Meet Me in St. Louis. One of his last projects was an unfinished animated feature based on the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe.
