This film is also a part of the GCU (Go!Animate Cinematic Universe), and it is the first film to be part of the GRU (Go!Animate Rewritten Universe).

This film also features additional appearances of some characters from Ben 10, Rugrats, Steven Universe, Despicable Me, Adventure Time, FusionFall, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, and many others, almost all from the original creators' permission.

The film is scheduled to be released on December 14, 2018 in 3D, 2D, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, and IMAX 3D. The film serves as either the definitive series finale or as a prelude to a potential revival. The film is rated PG due to some brief mild language, mild cartoon violence, rude humor, and some scenes may scare children.

Development
In November 2016, Henry Norton, who is best known for his involvement in the Taylor's Series Saga (now Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars) franchise had officially announced that he wanted to work on a feature-length film based on Go!Animate Network, Cartoon Network, and Discovery Kids and Family's original series The Eric Show, in order to revive the series after it went on semi-hiatus since 2015. Henry also announced that he would be the director and writer of the film. The film was originally titled promotionally as The Eric Show: The Movie. Henry asked the developers of the series Prince Boadu (PFilms207 Power, formally known as PFilms207 Forever VGCP), Julien Badit (ThatGreenSwagGuy), awildmewRBLX, Brendan Barney, and The FunEditor4 (who were given rights to take over the series from the original creators MicAnimateFive and Robert Coates) if they can give him permission to do a feature-length film based on The Eric Show. Due to the show's semi-inactivity, they gave Henry permission to adapt the series into a feature-length film. Prince Boadu and Julien Badit, two of the developers of the series will be involved in the film as producers, with the exceptions of one of the series' developers awildmewRBLX, who had retired from Go!Animate in July 2016 and was no longer the series' developer, and the original creators MicAnimateFive and Robert Coates, who are now inactive. However, Brendan Barney and The FunEditor4, the other two developers of the series might be involved in the film if they want to. On December 25, 2016, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures acquired the rights to produce the film, and would team up with The Go!Animate Company to develop the film. It was also confirmed that the film would be the first Go!Animated film to be a mix of hand drawn animation, 2D digital flash animation, and 3D computer generated imagery (CGI). The film was originally under development by Warner Bros. Animation (via Warner Animation Group) and Paramount Animation.

In January 11, 2017, shortly after Wild Animation Network (WAN) ceased operations and rebranded to Wild ROBLOX Network (WRN) after its acquisition by Roblox Corporation in mid 2016, The Go!Animate Company (via Go!Animate Network), along with Gundam Mode Anivision, The REBIRTH Studios, Powerhouse Of Entertainment, and later Colin Entertainment, Ltd. and NicThic Productions acquired rights to the entire WAN film and television libraries, allowing Go!Animate Network, as well as 5 other companies to have control of the WAN library and to have full rights to produce a feature-length film based on WAN's original series The Eric Show, and possibly other films and TV shows based on the films and shows from the WAN library. Later in February of that year, Stephan Swaby expressed interest in development of the film, and later became one of the producers and writers of the film.

The film was originally planned to be co-produced by John Harry Lau Productions. However, in March 29, 2017, John Harry Lau announced that he did not want to work on the production of the film. The next day, Paramount Animation, an animation division of Paramount Pictures had agreed to produce the film instead of John Harry Lau Productions. In April 6, 2017, John Harry Lau has decided to return to working on the production of the film. (See Trivia for more.) In March 27, 2017, James Sharp, also known by his nickname Sharpness Knight, agreed to help with the production of the film. He also agreed to have his company Sharpness Knight Animation Studios, and GreenyWorld Studios co-produce the film.

In March 25, 2017, NDCUnivercity Media (now NDCUniversal), a parody of NBCUniversal, had also agreed to help with the production of the film, and NDCUnivercity Animation Studios (now Laka Animation Studios) was added to produce the film on April 18, 2017. Univercity Pictures was also added on the same day, to distribute the film Internationally besides Paramount Pictures, but under Universal Pictures, which Univercity is parodized to. However, 5 days later, Univercity Pictures and NDCUniversal Animation Studios were both removed from producing and distributing the film. (See Trivia for more.) Universal will distribute the film along with Paramount Internationally instead of Univercity, and DreamWorks Animation and Illumination Entertainment will produce the film instead of NDCUnivercity Animation Studios. NDCUnivercity will still help with the development of the film, but only under Universal. In May 11, 2017, Eric Medina, Colin Lloyd Pendergast, D.A. Nichols, and Abbey Thickson had also agreed to develop the film, and have Adult Mall Movies, and Colin Entertainment, Ltd. added to produce the film. Colin serves as the producer, excecutive producer and writer of the film, while D.A. and Abbey serve as directors of the film. Founder of Slimeworks and actor KnottyOrchid12, a.k.a. Nolan Massey wanted to help with the film and wanted his company to be one of the production companies for the film. Unfortunately, Stephan stated that he already has a lot of film companies helping with the film. But later on, Stephan stated that Nolan can still help with the film and help with the script. It's just that his company won't be a production company or help distribute the film.

During production of the film, Columbia Pictures released Alvin Hung And The Go!Fags: The Movie on June 16, 2017. The film received positive reviews from critics and audiences. On July 2017, Cianan Irvine, the director and producer of the film had agreed to help with the production of the Eric Animations movie. In Alvin Hung's movie, EricAnimate, a.k.a Eric Animations had appeared in the film to help Doodle Bob and his friends save Alvin Hung and his family and stop CoolBoy7750 and his team from ruining Go!Animate and turning it into FutureAnimate. Eric is the same character from The Eric Show, as well as his upcoming film based on the series, which is this film. In July 2017, it was announced and revealed that the Eric Animations movie would not only be based on The Eric Show, but also become a feature-length spin-off to Alvin Hung And The Go!Fags: The Movie, involving Sony Pictures Entertainment to not only team up with Warner Bros., Paramount, and Universal and work on the film with Columbia Pictures distributing the film Internationally with Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, and Sony Pictures Animation co-producing the film for CGI animation, but to also acquire the rights to produce the film.

In August 2017, Famous Players Entertainment, Pobo Films, and DreamWorks Animation were both removed from developing the film because Famous Players is a film exhibitor and a cable television service provider, not a film studio. Also, Famous Players shut down in 2005 and was sold to Cineplex Entertainment and. Pobo Films was removed due to the company not interested in the film. DreamWorks Animation was removed because the company is not making films until 2019 after the cancellation of the planned 2018 film Larrikins. DreamWorks Animation was later replaced by Illumination Entertainment. Later, Laka Animation Studios (formally NDCUnivercity Animation Studios was brought back. On September 2, 2017, ToonRocket, and Sharpness Knight Animation Studios were removed from developing the film. ToonRocket was removed because The Eric Show is not a ToonRocket original series, and Sharpness Knight Animation Studios was removed because James Sharp, the co-director, producer, executive producer, writer, and editor of the film was working with Colin Entertainment, Ltd, NicThic Productions, and GreenyWorld Studios on the development of the film, and having his company Sharpness Knight Animation Studios develop the film was too much for the list of companies developing the film.

On November 21, 2017, it was announced that Zane Christopher Morgan, and his company ChrisAndZane Pictures would be co-producing the film. In December 1, 2017, Amblin Entertainment, as well as Steven Spielberg (who was to be the director of the film) were removed from co-producing and directing the film due to Spielberg himself unavailable in making this movie, as he is very busy working on everything else like Ready Player One. Spielberg was later replaced by Anthony and Jose Russo, and they will be directing the film. Also, Chris Meledandri, who is the founder and CEO of Illumination Entertainment was added to co-produce this film since he produced every animated film produced by Illumination. On December 11, 2017, after Jad Barahmeh became the new admin of Idea Wiki, Jad announced that he restored the original transcript of the film, thus allowing the writers to continue development of the transcript. Jad, along with Heliter Liskon, who gave ideas for the trailer to the film were both hired as producers and writers of the film the next day.

On December 14, 2017, Mason Moore announced that he will be no longer involved with the development of the film due to loss of interest on the film. Because of this, Mason was removed from being the director of the film, as well as voicing as Jimmy Neutron in the film. He will be replaced by a currently unknown director, as well as a new voice actor for Jimmy Neutron. Later, on December 25 2017, which is Christmas Day, it was announced that Taylor JoliCoeur and Eric Jolicoeur would also be no longer involved in the film due to controversies with the staff of Gundam Mode Anivision and Super Angel Team Friends. This also resulted in Taylor Pictures Corporation, Eric + Taylor Studios, and Super Angel Team Friends dropping out from producing the film the same day. Taylor Pictures, Eric + Taylor Studios, and Super Angel Team Friends dropped out due to controversies with the staff of Gundam Mode Anivision and Super Angel Team Friends, Taylor and Eric no longer being involved in the film, and also due to the closure of Super Angel Team Friends in December 23, 2017. Taylor and Eric were later removed from being co-producers of the film. DreamWorks Animation was later brought back into production of the film in December 25, 2017.

Writing
Writing for the film started on April 3, 2017. Since then, the script for the movie is currently in progress since the original transcript got deleted. But writer/actor KnottyOrchid12 AKA Nolan Massey is helping rewrite the script. On December 11, 2017, after Jad Barahmeh became the new admin of Idea Wiki, Jad announced that he restored the original transcript of the film, thus allowing the writers to continue development of the transcript. Jad, along with Heliter Liskon, who gave ideas for the trailer to the film were both hired as producers and writers of the film the next day. The film is being written by Stephan Swaby, James Sharp, Colin Lloyd Pendergast, Emman Cortez, Henry Norton, Nolan Massey, Terry Ward, Jad Barameh, and Heliter Liskon. The script of the film is inspired by some films in the Taylor's Series Saga and Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars film franchises, as well as some fanmade films and fanfictions of some TV shows and movies made by fans of them. Most of the fanfictions that the film's transcript is inspired of are from FanFiction.Net, a fanfiction archive website that allows people and fans to use their imaginations and write down fanfictions of their favorite shows or movies. FanFiction.Net is very useful and helpful for the transcript of the film.

Film title
The film was originally titled as The Eric Show: The Movie. However, the title was very unusual and wasn't a very good title for the film. In March 15, 2017, the film's title was changed to Eric Animate: The Movie. The words "Eric Animate" in the title is very similar to Go!Animate. To avoid getting the movie sued by Go!Animate for being a Go!Animate rip-off, and then cancelled, the title was changed for the 2nd time to Eric Animations: The Movie 5 days later. On May 2017, the title was changed for the 3rd time to Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie, although the film is sometimes known in some promotional material as simply Eric Animations: The Movie. In July 21, 2017, the title was changed for the 4th and final time by adding the word "First" in the title. The film's title is currently known as Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie.

Attempts at contacting the companies
The creators of the film tried to contact the companies several times, most notably Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, Sony and especially, Go!Animate.

Casting
The movie was originally going to have text-to-speech voices to play as the characters, some to reprise their roles for the characters. However in February 2017, it was announced that there will be no using text-to-speech voices for the characters in the film. Instead, the creators of the film will use real life voice actors and actresses to play the characters for the film, while respectively replacing the text-to-speech voices from reprising their roles. KnottyOrchid12 AKA Nolan Massey is still wanting to lend his voice for the film ever since it's cancellation and revival and in late 2017 KnottyOrchid12/Nolan Massey has confirmed he wants to play the Magical Holographic Crystal Ball who helps Eric and his friends on their journey. He even wrote a scene of it for director StephantheAnimator. On September 15th 2017 Nolan was later confirmed to play The Magical Holographic Crystal Ball. The rest of the cast was announced on November 2017. Most of the actors and actresses, such as Steve Carrell, Kristin Wig, Dan Castellaneta, Ryan Porter, Dana Gaier, Tom Kenny, Roger Bumpass, Miranda Cosgrove, Chris Pratt, Kate McKinnon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Fred Tatasciore and others from many sources, almost all of them will reprise their roles in the film, with the exceptions of John Ritter, Christine Cavanaugh, and June Foray, who were both replaced by Luke Wilson, Max Charles, and Seth Green respectively.

Recasting
Jack Griffo, an actor who is best known for the role of Max Thunderman in the Nickelodeon TV series The Thundermans was considered of voicing as Eric Animations, the title character and primary protagonist in the film. However in March 2017, the producers of the film thought that Griffo didn't have the right voice to voice as Eric in the film. They later chose Zachary Gordon, who is best known for the role of Greg Heffley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series to voice as the character, and Gordon was later confirmed on the same month to voice as Eric in the film, replacing Griffo.

Beginning in October 2017, numerous sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations were made against Kevin Spacey, who had been cast as Diesel Walker, Eric Animations' father. This resulted in Spacey being removed from production of the film. The producers of the film began looking for another actor to voice as Diesel, because they believed that a film aimed for teens, families and audiences should not be associated with the Spacey scandal. In November 25, 2017, George Clooney and George Newbern were considered for the voice of Diesel Walker in the film, and replacing Spacey from voicing that role until they chose Clooney, who was confirmed in December 2017 to voice Diesel in the film, replacing Spacey. Max Charles, who is set to voice as Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory was considered of voicing as Alejandro Robertson III, a.k.a. the main Go!Brat. However in January 20, 2018, the voice role of the main Go!Brat in the film was later given to Jacob Tremblay. Melissa Fahn was considered of voicing as Julie, Eric's girlfriend in the film in December 2017, but that role was already given to Peyton List.

Animation
The 2D hand-drawn animation will be handled by the Go!Animate headquarters, Yowza! Animation, Rough Draft Studios South Korea, and Film Roman, while the CGI animation is handled by Blur Studio, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Weta Digital, Industrial Light &amp; Magic, Reel FX Animation Studios, and Animal Logic, using Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Animate, and TVPaint Animation as the 2D animation software, and Blender as the CGI layout, animation, and lighting software, and Autodesk Maya as the CGI animation, CGI layout, and CGI rigging software.

Storyboard
Storyboarding for the film will be handled by Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and TVPaint Animation (which also handles the 2D animation software) as the storyboarding software.

Design
Adobe Photoshop, Animate and Illustrator, as well as GIMP, Inkscape, and Paint.NET will serves as the matte painting, visual development, design, and 2D layout of the film. Autodesk Mudbox, The Foundary Modo and ZBrush will serve as the modeling softwares.

There are other software that will be used to make this film, including the discontinued Autodesk Softimage as the CGI animation, compositing, rendering, and lighting software, The Foundry Nuke as the animation camera and compositing software, Houdini Effects and NDCUnivercity's Rendermotion as the visual effects software, Adobe After Effects as the visual effects and compositing software, The Foundry Mari as the texture painting software, and Pixar's Renderman as the rendering and lighting software. Medibang Paint Pro, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Microsoft Paint, Corel Painter, Krita, Moho, and Paint Tool SAI will also serve as the matte painting, visual development, design, 2D layout, and 2D animation software.

Visual effects
The visual effects and composting will be handled by Weta Digital, Animal Logic, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Blur Studio, Reel FX Animation Studios, and Industrial Light &amp; Magic, since all 6 of them are indeed visual effects companies. In order to make the animated film look realistic (for the scenery and such) but not creepy, the CGI animated elements, and the 2D animated elements would have to be composited into the final image using Nuke, Adobe After Effects, and the now-discontinued Autodesk Softimage. The lighting on both CGI and 2D animated elements will also be handled by visual effects artists, composers, lighting artists, rendering artists, animators, and digital ink and paint artists using Pixar's RenderMan, Blender, Adobe After Effects, Toon Boom Harmony, Nuke, and Autodesk Softimage, since the animators wanted more lighting and shading on the hand-drawn animated characters.

James Sharp, one of the executive producers of the film, has mentioned that "putting 2D hand-drawn animated characters on a 3D CGI animated environment is one of the hardest things we would ever do". He also said that the animators, composers, and visual effect artists would "animate the 2D characters against a green-screen background and composite the green-screen character into a 3D background." For the CGI transformation sequence, animators would have to design, model, rig, animate, and composite 3D CGI animated designs and models of the 2D animated characters to give them a photo-realistic make over.

Inspiration
The animation styles and techniques will be somewhat similar to that from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, DreamWorks Animation, Warner Bros. Animation, Nelvana, Film Roman, Zagtoon, Toei Animation, and especially Go!Animate. During the film's development, Dallas Toons joined the film's production crew when he mentioned that the film will use Toon Boom Harmony as the main 2D animation software with Go!Animate being the secondary 2D animation software. Later on, James Sharp, one of the executive producers of the film replied and added to Dallas' comment that the film will have an exaggerated heavy use of "squash and stretch" to resemble the Looney Tunes shorts, and most of Isaac Anderson Animations' YouTube videos.

Moreover, as the production of the film continues, Emman Cortez, one of the producers, and writers said that he'll draw more characters for the film, with his own art style, which has been influenced by Dan Povenmire and Swampy Marsh's works such as Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law, Alex Hirsch's Gravity Falls, Daron Nefcy's Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Rebecca Sugar's Steven Universe, anime and manga such as Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto franchise and Hiroho Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, as both of them serve as his influences for his coloring style and others, including Marvel and DC, his biggest Superhero influences of all time.

The designs and techniques will also be inspired by some DeviantArt users such as VerdeLeon, mazjojo, MikkouKun, zamius, KuroSilver, Alexendre86, Dopler00, korak225, brifight, midorimushiG, SourShockX, kuroshinki, Suyohara, GasaiV, Arkapami, Nostacholy, iza200117, cmara and GrexlB. However, some of these DeviantArt users who use those designs and techniques made some pictures that contains content that is too mature, and may not suitable for younger audiences. The producers of the film will have to make sure they don't make any content for the movie that is too mature for family viewers.

Music
The music for the film will be composed by Brian Tyler, who is well known for composing films, television and video games. Other composers such as Cianan Irvine, C. Elbourn, Daniel Ingram, Junkie XL, Danny Elfman and Mark Mothersbaugh will also be composing for the film.

Differences between the original series and the movie
Contrast to the original show, which was more like a grounded series due to some episodes involving Eric Animations getting grounded, this movie will not be a "grounded" movie or film due to the fact that "grounded" videos have ruined Go!Animate, as the website was not made for those videos, or other bad videos on the site. In addition, this film is more of an Avengers Infinity War-esque team-up movie, as much like Crisis on Infinite Earths, it features dozens of team-ups of heroic characters saving their worlds from a dangerous event that will destroy everyone and all of the entire population.

In addition, due to some of the characters originally being created from starter characters from Go!Animate, the characters looks have been changed to make them look more original due to the fact that these starter characters have been overused in so many GoAnimate videos back in 2012-2016. The creators of the film don't want people to get confused on who the characters are if people see the characters looking very identical. Also, in the original show, Eric's parents Diesel and Kimberly had only 2 children, which are Eric and Brian, but in the film, Diesel and Kimberly have 7 children, which are Eric and Brian, along with their brother Matthew, their sister Cynthia, their younger brothers Alexander and William, and their younger sister Olivia. Eric Animation's family's original last name in the show was "Animate" or "Animations". Due to their last name being very unrealistic, their last name was changed to Walker in December 2017. Eric still keeps his last name "Animations", but only as a nickname and the title of the film.

Due to the differences between the original show and the film, this film will be somewhat like a Cartoon Network reboot, although Cartoon Network reboots have been criticized due to not being very faithful to the original shows they were based on. However, the film will be like a Cartoon Network reboot and a Adult Swim reboot at the same time. The crew of the film will make sure the film have some faithfulness to the original show.

Company revivals
In 2015, Republic Pictures was revived and acquired by Viacom, CBS Corporation, SammyWorks, and RandomWorks, even though Viacom and CBS split in 2005, and Viacom folded Republic into Paramount Pictures in 2015, and created a new holding company called "Melange Pictures, LLC" as the holder of the Republic film library. Republic later became a film production label and in-name-only unit of Paramount Pictures and CBS Films. It is scheduled to co-produce this film, as well as other films with Paramount.

The name unit Lorimar was revived in 2017 and acquired by TimeWarner (sale to AT&amp;T pending), after Lorimar's theatrical film unit was shut down since 1990. Lorimar serves as an in-name only unit of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and is scheduled to co-produce this film, as well as other films with Warner Bros.

Criticism
Although Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie has been popular on YouTube, Go!Animate, and Idea Wiki, the film had also been criticized by some people, most notably "rabid Go!Animate haters" on Idea Wiki.

Controversies
In addition to the criticism of the film, there were also controversies in Idea Wiki during development of the film. On June 25, 2017, James Sharp had deleted the original article to Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie, along with the original transcript, credits, trailer transcripts, and soundtrack. This caused Stephan Swaby, one of the producers and writers of the film to rage in all caps at James Sharp with an angry message saying this:

"Oh MY GOD!!! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!! YOU RUINED HENRY NORTON'S MOVIE AND ERIC ANIMATIONS' MOVIE!!!! NOW HENRY NORTON AND ERIC ANIMATIONS ARE GOING TO BE MAD AT YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID!!! HOW COULD YOU?! THIS TOOK ME 3 MONTHS TO MAKE!!! NOW I HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE OF YOU!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING LIKE THIS?!! WHY?!! WHY?!! WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HENRY NORTON, ME, AND ERIC ANIMATIONS?!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! YOU MADE ME SO FREAKING FURIOUS!!! NOW I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!"

- Stephan Swaby

Because of Stephan's rude behavior, he got banned from Idea Wiki, which caused him to be even more angry at James Sharp and blame him for ruining Eric Animations' movie. However, James Sharp explained why he deleted Eric Animations' movie saying this:

"It's just that the movie has way too many production companies producing it. If the production of the movie would be restarted, there should be less than 5 companies producing the movie. Also, there would be less characters in that movie."

- James Sharp

Because of this, on June 29, 2017, Stephan apologized to James Sharp for his rude behavior and for raging at him and promised not to do it ever again. He did that in a apology video, which can be found here:. James Sharp accepted his apology and unblocked him from Idea Wiki. The development of the movie was restarted on the same day. The makers of the movie thought that everything was back to normal, until July 20th 2017. On that day, James Sharp cancelled the movie again. Stephan asked him nicely why he cancelled the movie again, and here was James' response:

"Here are the reasons why I canceled the movie again: First of all, people won't be helping you with the movie because you are starting to become immature and you are slowly turning into a GoFag. Second of all, Henry Norton wanted every single company all around the world to create the movie, but I disagree. I only wanted one production company producing the film. Third of all, that Eric Animations movie idea is a bad idea. I've had it with you, and Henry Norton, and your stupid Eric Animations movie idea, and other lousy stuff you did! I quit! From now on, I will make movies on my own, without you! Our friendship... and our movie partnership... is NO more! Good day!"

- James Sharp

After that, James blocked Stephan from Idea Wiki again and called him a Go!Fag, which Stephan is not a Go!Fag because Go!Fags are people who bully Alvin Hung for updating Go!Animate. Stephan does not bully Alvin Hung at all. Also, Stephan is innocent and he did nothing wrong on the wiki this time.

On July 20th 2017, Stephan reported James Sharp to a user and admin of Idea Wiki named Loudmouth1 and told him that James blocked him for no reason and was being mean to him. Loudmouth1 unblocked Stephan and blocked James Sharp. However, MovieLover9000 blocked both Stephan and Loudmouth1 for indefinite and said that Stephan deserves to be blocked, not him. However, because James blocked 2 innocent users, he was blocked again, this time by RetroGameFan9000 for indefinite. RetroGameFan9000 later unblocked Stephan and Loudmouth1. Development of Eric Animations' movie was restarted without James Sharp on the same day. The next day, Stephan made a video to send a message to James Sharp, which is found here:. Stephan apologized to James Sharp for causing him to bully him and hate him. James Sharp accepted his apology saying:

"I accept your apology. But promise me one thing. Try to remove some companies from producing the film. By the way, I'm sorry for making you upset with the drama over a movie and whatnot. Will you please accept my apology?"

- James Sharp

Stephan accepted his apology and James promised not to bully him and call him a Go!Fag ever again. James was later brought back on helping with the development of Eric Animations' movie.

On August 12, 2017, Colin Lloyd Jr. Pendergast made a poll on Idea Wiki on James Sharp, which is found here:. He said that he should be unblocked and make an apology letter to Stephan. The same day, James sent Stephan a email with a apology letter saying

"Dear Stephan Swaby, If you are reading this, I know people think that the guy who hurt your feelings is not the kind of guy on Wikia they love, but the guy from Wikia everyone loved... was me, James Sharp (aka Sharpness Knight and MovieLover9000). I know some people think that the Eric Animations movie wasn't your idea, it was my idea. However, as months past by, now I know how the people from Idea Wiki feel. My other friend Cpend37 made a poll if I were to remain being blocked in Idea Wiki or if I should be unblocked, and some of the Wikia users are helping him unblock me on Idea Wiki. I would be unblocked, but... but first, there's something that I have to say to you. You didn't overreact over a movie like the Eric Animations movie. A battle between you and me made some Wikia users stop helping you with your movie. I overreacted over the companies for the film, and with my rude and hurtful actions that made me hurt your feelings, I know I should have asked you politely to shorten the maximum limit of companies from 30 to 5. I should have never hurt your feelings like that, but I did it anyway. So, there's something I have to say to you. I'm sorry for overreacting over the Eric Animations movie, and for hurting your feelings, and for starting a huge battle between you and me. 😞 I promise I will never do anything like that again. If you accept my apology, will you please unblock me on Idea Wikia? Thank you. Sincerely, Sharpness Knight P.S. I'm making a sequel to Poptropica: The Movie based on Minecraft. It's called "Tyler and Trent in Minecraft". I'm looking for someone to help me with the movie. However, if I can't find any, I will finish the whole movie myself and that will take me forever to do all that. P.P.S. There's a script for the Poptropica movie sequel, if you want to read it. Click here to read the script: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yeJBzSTdxlzBofAzunU9FCDrgbB7iFWxDZdnQlj6CYw/edit P.P.P.S. This letter is too long, so yeah. Hope you accept my apology."

- James Sharp

Stephan accepted James apology, James was unblocked from Idea Wiki by Coolot1, and he and Stephan are now friends once again. Shortly after Stephan accepted James' apology, production of the film was back in business. As of August 2017, development of Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie is still active, and has not be cancelled ever since.

Trivia

 * This is the first ever feature film of the series.
 * This is also the first feature film to be based on a Go!Animate Network and Discovery Family series.
 * This is also the first actual theatrical feature film to be based on a Go!Animate series and property.
 * This film serves as the first installment to the Go!Animate Rewritten Universe (GRU), which was formally known as the Go!Animate Rebooted Universe.
 * This will be the sixth theatrical film with a wide release to be based on a Cartoon Network series after The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002), Regular Show: The Movie (2015) The LEGO Ninjago Movie (2017), Teen Titans Go! To The Movies (2018), and an untitled Adventure Time movie that is still in development.
 * Before sometime of March, John Harry Lau Productions was added without permission. After that day, it was deleted due to John Harry Lau not being interested on production of The Eric Show, including this movie. But in April 6, 2017, John Harry Lau had agreed to work on the film, because he saw all of the episodes from the series, and liked the videos of the films opening logos.
 * The name unit Lorimar Film Entertainment was revived and acquired by TimeWarner (sale to AT&amp;T pending), after Lorimar's theatrical film unit was shut down since 1990.
 * The new title, Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie, is somewhat similar to Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017), but the film is not a rip-off or a mockbuster to that movie.
 * The film became one of the most expensive films of all time.
 * This is the first film for New Line Cinema to team up with Warner Bros. Animation into making a film.
 * The film is released early after 2 months of a Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Colin Entertainment, Ltd. hand-drawn animated film Toby Fox's Undertale based on 2015 independent role-playing video game of the same name by Toby Fox.
 * The new logo for this film uses the font "Gotham Ultra", which is the same font used for the logo for the 2017 infamous 3D computer-animated science fiction-comedy film The Emoji Movie, which is also produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
 * Max Charles replaces Candi Milo and Christine Cavanaugh from reprising their roles as Dexter because the creators of the film want Dexter to be played by a male actor, and not a female actress. Another reason why Cavanaugh is replaced by Charles is because she retired from acting in 2003, and died 10 years later on December 22, 2014 at the age of 51. Luke Wilson replaces John Ritter from reprising his role as Clifford The Big Red Dog because Ritter died of an aortic dissection on September 11, 2003 at the age of 54. Seth Green replaces June Foray from reprising her role as Rocky The Flying Squirrel because Foray retired from acting in 2014, and died 3 years later on July 26, 2017 at the age of 99, less than two months prior to her 100th birthday.
 * This film is dedicated to Christine Cavanaugh, John Ritter, and June Foray, since Cavanaugh had provided the voice of Dexter, Ritter had provided the voice of Clifford The Big Red Dog, and Foray provided the voice of Rocky The Flying Squirrel.
 * This is the 2nd time Seth Green is voicing as Rocky The Flying Squirrel, since he voiced as the character in 2013 on a segment called Of Moose and Squirrel from an episode called Papercut to Aorta, which is a Season 6 episode from the Adult Swim TV series Robot Chicken.
 * This film is somewhat inspired by a planned sequel to Go!Animate The Movie (2013) called Go!Animate The Movie 2: Eric Out Of The City that was planned to be released in 2017, but it was cancelled in August 5, 2016 due to the first movie's infamous failure and HTML5 getting rid of the Non-Business Themes on Go!Animate, as it could not support those themes.
 * This will be the 3rd time Zachary Gordon and Peyton List work together in a movie since Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012).
 * This is the twenty-eighth Animated television series to be adapted into a feature movie. The previous ones were Spongebob SquarePants, Jimmy Neutron, Rugrats, Wild Thornberrys, Hey Arnold!, Barnyard, The Powerpuff Girls, Regular Show, The Simpsons, South Park, Beavis and Butt-Head, The Flintstones, Yogi-Bear, The Jetsons, DuckTales, Phineas and Ferb, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Teacher's Pet, Goof Troop, Transformers, Batman: The Animated Series, Heathcliff, Doug, Recess, Babar, and My Little Pony.

Planned or scrapped ideas

 * The movie distributors were going to collab with Go!Animate as it start the bidding war with Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Entertainment One, and STX Entertainment. However in August 2017, STX, Disney, and Fox were rejected, and Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, Sony and Entertainment One will be making the film.
 * Even though Sony Pictures announced for the infamous computer-animated film The Emoji Movie in 2016, Sony could not be rejected from making this movie due to the fact that Eric Animations, the main protagonist of this movie appeared in Alvin Hung And The Go!Fags: The Movie and A Go!Animate YouTuber Movie, which are both made by Sony.
 * The title of the movie was originally named as The Eric Show: The Movie.
 * Univercity Pictures and NDCUnivercity Animation Studios (now Laka Animation Studios) were going to co-produce the film, but in April 23, 2017, they were removed from producing and distributing the film. NDCUnivercity (now NDCUniversal) will still produce the film, but under Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, and Illumination Entertainment. In August 2017, DreamWorks Animation and Illumination were removed because DreamWorks is not releasing animated films in 2018, and Illumination is not producing the film. Gingo Animation later replaced DreamWorks and Illumination, and will produce the film instead of the two companies since Dreamworks, Illumination and Gingo are owned by NBCUniversal. However, Illumination was brought back to the production of the film in September 2017. Later, DreamWorks Animation was brought back in December of that year.
 * Kayla was originally going to be the main villain and leader of "The Troublemakers Squad" in the film, but in May 10, 2017, Stephan Swaby, one of the producers of the film, wanted to have Evil Fred Jones, from Samster5677's Scooby-Doo series, to be the main leader of the squad and Kayla's new boyfriend. Evil Fred Jones was originally going to be the main villain in the film, but in July 2017, he was scrapped, and later replaced by Gozaburo Kaiba as the main villain and leader of the squad in the film. He is not Kayla's new boyfriend though, but is Isabella's boyfriend. In August 2017, Kayla was removed from being the villain of the movie because Kayla resembles Eric Smith's girlfriend who has the same name as her. Kayla will still be in the movie, but she will help Eric Animations and his team stop Gozaburo and Isabella.
 * There are rejected voice actors or actresses to do the voice of the character.
 * Jack Griffo as Eric Animations.
 * Gary Oldman as Gozeburo Kaiba but instead, he voiced M. Bison.
 * Candi Milo as Dexter.
 * Kevin Spacey or Troy Baker as Diesel Walker.
 * Melissa Fahn as Julie.
 * YSR Network originally had plans to co-produce this movie, but they were scrapped due to the owner of the company no longer being associated with O3V Television and REBIRTH Studios for personal reasons. Another reason is because YSR Network had shut down on August 30, 2017 after 3 years of work due to copyright issues. YSR Network was later rebranded to Yuvi, but the Network still exists in the UK, Canada, India, Asia and other countries. But the US version of the network had shut down.
 * Go!Animate/DreamWorks, a merger between The Go!Animate Company, DreamWorks Pictures and Animation had plans to co-produce the film as well as other Go!Animate films, but those plans were later scrapped in July 10, 2017 due to the Go!Animate/DreamWorks partnership ceased to exist. The company was later rebranded as Landscape Pictures in August of that year. All projects from Go!Animate/DreamWorks, including unfinished ones like this one were moved to Landscape Pictures, a film and television production company owned by Gundam Mode Anivision. The Protectors of The Deep, a film in the Taylor's Series Saga franchise that was released on July 28, 2017 was the last film to use the Go!Animate/DreamWorks name.
 * TjsWorld2011 Pictures, an American independent animation studio and production company founded by TjsWorld2011 and Ntpockets was added to produce the film without permission from TjsWorld2011 and Ntpockets. The founders of the company claimed that they were not interested in helping with the development of the film. As a result, TjsWorld2011 Pictures was removed from production of the film in July 2017.
 * Taylor Pictures Corporation, Eric + Taylor Studios, and Super Angel Team Friends (now Super Stars Team Warriors) both had plans of co-producing this film since Taylor JoliCoeur and her husband Eric had shown interest in production of the film. The film also had plans of being part of the Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars (formally Taylor's Series Saga) franchise. However in December 23, 2017, those plans were scrapped due to controversies with the staff of Gundam Mode Anivision and Super Angel Team Friends, which got Taylor and Eric fired from production of the film and from Gundam Mode Anivision. Theis also involved their companies Taylor Pictures, Eric + Taylor Studios, and Super Angel Team Friends being removed from production.
 * This film was originally going to be a spin-off to a planned 2018 film entitled Game Over Saga, which was planned to be produced by R1X Entertainment and Go!Animate Studios, and distributed by Columbia Pictures. However in January 4, 2018, it was announced by Ryan, the creator of the film that Game Over Saga had been cancelled. The creator of the film made a YouTube video announcing the film's cancellation. The main reason why it was cancelled is due to creative difficulties, and Ryan would rather work on a different project, which would later be known as A Random GoAnimate Adventure.
 * This film was also going to be a crossover film during mid 2017. However in January 9, 2018, that plan was scrapped due to too the large amount of companies. Instead, the film will just feature cameos of characters from some TV shows and franchises.
 * However, certain characters from other properties will be involved into the main storyline.
 * There are some scenes from the movie that were scrapped.
 * The movie was originally going to have the opening logos on a burgundy red background, the same color of Eric's hoodie. The movie was also going to have the opening logos play with the theme "Main Title - The Kids" from the The Cat in the Hat (2003), a live action film based on the book of the same name created by Dr. Seuss. However, the live action film based on the book was panned by critics and fans of Dr. Suess. Because of that, Seuss' widow, Audrey Geisel, decided not to allow any further live-action adaptations of Seuss' works to be produced, and as a result, a planned sequel based on The Cat in the Hat Comes Back was cancelled. The producers of Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie don't want to make the film look like a rip-off to a film that was panned by critics, so the opening scene of the film was later scrapped.
