Development
Following with the success of 2019's Joker film, Disney got plans to make a Oliver and Company spinoff film focusing on Bill's origins.

Influences
Similar to Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (and it's PlayStation Portable prequel), elements from Miami Vice (especially with some scenes featuring 1980s music, pastel colors, clothing of the 1980s, equipment of the 1980s and popular vehicles of the 1980s) and Scarface are included. For the Scarface part, some scenes feature Bill saying his own variations of Tony Montana's iconic catchphrase ("SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!!!").

In addition, elements from other media such as the Rambo franchise (particularly when we see Bill in the Amazon Rainforest, we see Bill fighting against goons while at the same time, using some weapons as in this film's case, Crossbows and Arrows), the works of the late Bruce Lee and some elements of the Mad Max franchise (complete with some Vehicles and People wearing clothes that would fit well in the Heavy Metal, Hard Rock and Glam Metal music genres for a Post-Apocalyptic setting) are also included.

Notes/Trivia

 * Following the success of Warner Bros. and DC's Psychological Crime Thriller focusing on the Joker, this is the first and only Disney animated film to feature a villain of it's predecessor being the protagonist.
 * With a rating of TV-PG-LV when broadcasted on Television (due to some foul language used and more action scenes (particularly with the fights) being more brutal than it's predecessor and this also includes a pair of scenes featuring some blood but not too bloody compared to other Crime Dramas), this is one of the darkest animated Disney films to date.
 * In fact, among all of the Disney films featuring some Anti-heroes/Villains who are the protagonists of the story, this became the only one to be animated.
