Eric Animations/Trivia

Trivia for the 2018 American-Canadian hand-drawn/flash/CGI animated action-adventure science-fiction family comedy-drama time travel superhero crossover film Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie.

Trivia

 * 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 for 27 years.
 * The new title, Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie, is somewhat similar to Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, but it's not a rip-off or a mockbuster to that movie.
 * 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 an 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.

Rejected or scrapped ideas

 * The title of the movie was originally named as The Eric Show: The Movie.
 * TTTEAndSpongebobYesFurFagsNo (ThomasTheTankEngineAndSpongebobYesFurFagsNo) was also going to be in the film as Gozeburo and Isabella's henchman (originally Evil Fred and Kayla's henchman), but he was scrapped.
 * 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 will still produce the film, but under Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, and Illumination Entertainment. In August 2017, DreamWorks Animation was removed because DreamWorks is not releasing animated films in 2018. Gingo Animation later replaced DreamWorks Animation and will produce the film instead of DreamWorks.
 * 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.
