 I actually watched them film three of the segments from this at Wally
Bulloch’s Anicam where they were shooting a job of mine at the same time.
 If I recall correctly, one of the segments, they forgot to put in the green
glowing ball at all, and nobody ever notices.
  

It's in all of them, but sometimes its' presence is tangential at best. In particular the B-17 bomber segment the ball is almost an afterthought. And in the Pentagon segment it sets things in motion, but then it's forgotten.

Titan A.E. (DVD) Don Bluth directed this  2000 animated sci-fi epic

 I refused to work on it way back when it was still called treasure planet
and had a different Director.

Disney came out with a Treasure Planet movie two years later.  Any relation?
Then it became ice planet and then it became

planet ice. We were telling them they should call it TITAN I.C.
  Not only did they shutter fox animation, they did it the next day. It
opened on a Friday and just from the projected grosses they called people
at home on the weekend and told them not to come in Monday.
