Early Development
Since 2015, Henry Norton and his friend Senna had worked with Taylor JoliCoeur and Eric Medina on various projects in the Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars (formally known as Taylor's Series Saga) franchise. However, Norton and Senna had previously attempted to make movies of their own such as ElsaAndDustyLover2014: The Movie (later known as Henry Norton: The Movie, GoAnimate 4 Schools: The Movie, VipeWorld Hedgehog: The Movie, SuperMarioROCKS: The Movie, and Caleb The Animator: The Movie, among others. However, those films never came to surface, as most of them were cancelled for various reasons. So far, the only known completed non-TCU: AS film that Norton and Senna made is SBDisneyPlanes01Swell 2: Revenge of AutoBots (2014). Norton and Senna also worked with Caleb J. Elbourn (CaybyJ) on GoAnimate The Movie 2, the sequel to w:c:goanimate:Go!Animate: The Movie (2013), but left production of the film in August 5, 2016 when the film was cancelled, although the project has since been revived by a user named "wesley vianen" as of July 27, 2018, but with a different plot, new villain, new characters, and without CaybyJ, Norton, or Senna's involvement.

On November 2016, Norton announcmed that he has plans of adapting Go!Animate/Vyond's properties into feature-length films, with his production company, Norton Films (formally known as Cheryl Norton Films and Henry Norton Films) involved. The crew behind the Taylor's Crystal Universe: All Stars franchise are also involved, including Senna. Norton's goal for those films are to "rejuvenate" and improve the Go!Animate/Vyond legacy, franchise, and the community, as well as to make them more popular again, since both the franchise and the community have been going downhill and becoming less popular since 2016, most notably because of the recent controversial updates to the site, the mixed-to-negative impact the site has been having lately, the less popular and infamous grounded videos, dead meat videos, held back videos, and torture videos that have since been taking over the site, and the fact that there has been recent YouTube terminations of popular GoAnimators/Vyonders such as Julian3535, 1RedBed, Go!Thug247, and Caillou Reloaded, among others. However, there were some controversies and accusations made against Norton that were going on during that time. As a result, plans of film adaptations to Go!Animate/Vyond's properties were put on hold for two months until controversies against him died down by January 2017.

On January 10, 2017, Norton announced that he had an idea of doing a movie about one of the popular cartoon characters on Go!Animate/Vyond, Eric, with the film's first title being originally known as The Eric Show: The Movie. The writing of the script started on the same day with Norton writing the plot of the movie. On January 24, 2018, Norton released a prototype version of the movie on his YouTube channel. The prototype version of the film consisted of the original opening to the movie, as well as parts 1 to 3 of the original version of the film. The opening used the Warner Bros. Pictures (1940s version), Warner Animation Group, Paramount Pictures, Go!Animate Pictures, Studios and Network, and RatPac-Dune Entertainment (now Access Entertainment) logos in the style of Eric's red hoodie. The original opening to the film is similar to the opening of the critically panned 2003 film The Cat in the Hat, which in fact, was based off of the 1957 Dr. Seuss book of the same name.

On February of 2017, Stephan Swaby, a Go!Animate/Vyond user who was getting used to the site since he joined it on May of 2016, had expressed interest in being involved in the film, as well as helping Norton with the film. As a result, he was later hired and put in charge of the film as co-director and one of the producers and writers of the film. Swaby had later created an Idea Wiki article to promote the film to users of the wiki, as well as GoAnimate/Vyond users. On March 15, 2017, the film's title was changed to Eric Animate: The Movie. It was changed due to the fact that the title sounded unusual, and it wasn't a good title for a movie. However, the second title sounded too similar to the Go!Animate name, except the name Eric replaces the word "Go!". As a result, the film received its third title Eric Animations: The Movie 5 days later.

It was originally planned for a November 2017 release with Scratch Entertainment, Go!Animate/DreamWorks Pictures, Discovery Works Films (later replaced by Discovery Family), Nickelodeon Movies, TjsWorld2011 Pictures, Toon Boom Animation, PFilms207 Power Productions (formally known as PFilms207 Forever VGCP Productions), Amblin Entertainment, Wafflecake Playhouse Films, and Adobe Systems involved in productions of the film.

On March 25, 2017, Miguel Marquez, founder of Laka Animation Studios had also expressed interest in involvement of the film. As a result, he was hired as one of the producers of the film. 2 days later, James Sharp, also known by his nickname Sharpness Knight had expressed interest in working on the film after the cancellation of Greenytoons Unite, a project that he was previously working on that didn't turn out well. He announced that his company Sharpness Knight Animation Studios, along with GreenyWorld Pictures would be involved to co-produce the film. He was later confirmed to be involved in the film as one of the co-directors, producers, executive producers, writers, and editors of the film. 9 days later, John Harry Lau had expressed interest in helping with the project after he watched videos of Eric on YouTube. He later became one of the executive producers of the film. On May 11, 2017, Eric Medina, Liz Quintana, Colin Lloyd Pendergast, D.A. Nichols, and Abbey Thickson had also expressed their interests in helping with the film, and to have Gundam Mode Anivision (now Gundam Mode Authorization/NDCUnivercity), Colin Entertainment, Ltd., NicThic Productions and its division NicThic Cinemation Studios to co-produce the film. Colin serves as the producer, executive producer and writer of the film, while D.A. and Abbey serve as co-directors of the film. Founder of Slimeworks Studios and actor Nolan Massey, (KnottyOrchid12) was also interested in the film, and wanted his company Slimeworks to be one of the production companies for the film. However, producer Swaby stated that he already has a lot of film companies helping with the film, and Slimeworks won't be involved in the film. However, Nolan can still help with the film by co-writing the script of the film. On May 2017, the title was changed for the 3rd time to Eric Animations: The Ultimate Epic Movie, although the film was sometimes known in some promotional material as simply Eric Animations: The Movie until September 5, 2018.

Production troubles and changes
Production of the film was going smoothly until June 25, 2017. On that day, James Sharp had deleted the original article to the film, along with the original transcript, credits, trailer transcripts, and soundtrack from Idea Wiki. Stephan Swaby was angered by James after what he had done, and wrote an angry message against him saying:

"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

Following Stephan's angry message to James, James himself banned Stephan from the Idea Wiki, which caused Stephan to be even more furious at James and blame him for ruining the project. However, James stated the reason to why he deleted the article:

"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

On June 29, 2017, Stephan apologized to James for his rude behavior towards him and promised not to be furious at him again. He did that in a apology video, which can be found here. James accepted his apology and unblocked him from Idea Wiki. The development of the film was restarted on the same day. The crew of the movie thought that everything was back to normal... that is until July 20th 2017. On that day, James Sharp cancelled the movie for the second time. 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 GoF*g. 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 for the second time, although Stephan did nothing wrong that time. The same day, Stephan reported James to a former 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, James blocked both Stephan and Loudmouth1 for infinite and claimed that Stephan "deserves to be blocked", not him. However, he was later blocked again from Idea Wiki, only this time, by RetroGameFan9000 since he had blocked two innocent users for no reason. RetroGameFan9000 later unblocked Stephan and Loudmouth1. Development of the film was immediately restarted again on the same day, only that time without James' involvement. The next day, the title was given a fifth name titled as Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie, and Stephan made a video where he sent a message to James Sharp, which is found here. Stephan apologized to James for causing him to bully him and hate him, and James 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 ever again. James was later brought back on helping with the development of the movie, but he was still blocked from the wiki. On August 12, 2017, Colin Lloyd Jr. Pendergast made a poll on Idea Wiki on James, which is found here. He stated that James should be unblocked from the wiki 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 later 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 officially back in business with James' involvement. On August 2017, Cianan Irvine, a Go!Animate/Vyond user known for his animated web series Hilaree had expressed interest in being involved in the film, and Irvine was confirmed to be involved in the film as executive producer and composer of the film. On December 14, 2017, Mason Moore announced that he is no longer directing the film, and he will no longer be involved in the project due to loss of interest. Moore was later replaced by Kevin Pham as co-director of the film.

On February 2018, Nolan Massey was promoted as co-producer of the film, and his company SlimeWorks Studios would be officially involved in the film. In March 2018 Clearwater Animation, the newly formed Felipebross Studios Network Jetix, Atomic Network, YSR Network, Teen Mall, and SammyWorks Films were also added to co-produce the film.

On February 16, 2018, Stephan Swaby made a serious message video to Cianan Irvine, one of the executive producers and composers of the film, in which the video stated that Cianan made a video back in Fall 2018 where he was bashing opinions on a user named StefieB. In the video, he went too far on Cianan by raging at him and unfriending him because of the drama that StefieB was having from late 2017 to mid 2018. The video had sparked controversy among the Go!Animate community, as well as his friends and fans on YouTube, and his video received a mixed to negative response, along with many angry message videos and hate videos out of Stephan. Cianan Irvine, who was scared and depressed because of Stephan's video made an apology message to everyone. The apology message can be found here. Although many users accepted Cianan's apology, Stephan was thinking about accepting Cianan's apology, but later denied his apology, which sparked more controversy. This situation, along with another situation that happened 5 months later, would slow down production of the film. The next day, Stephan made a video announcing that he was taking a break from the internet for a while due to the Cianan Irvine situation going on against Stephan. However, the following day after that, he made a video using a clip from one of Cianan's videos, and titled it "Cianan Irvine Gets A Girlfriend And Gets Grounded". The video was widely panned by Cianan Irvine and his friends and it caused more controversy on YouTube and Go!Animate. As a result, it caused him to lose subscribers on his channel and get more negative feedback. In addition, he privated all of his videos and changed his name to "CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE" with a closed sign as his profile, resulting in production of the film to be halted.

However, the Cianan Irvine situation was just about to become worse when someone made an imposter account out of Stephan and made some inappropriate videos out of Cianan and his character Hilaree to ruin the real Stephan's reputation even more and to give him more haters. In a YouTube livestream about Stephan's reputation, the real Stephan explained in the comments section that he did not make the inappropriate videos out of Cianan and his character Hilaree, and that someone was impersonating him. He also explained that he was going to apologize to Cianan Irvine and everyone on YouTube for his actions. A week later on February 24, 2018, he uploaded an apology message to everyone about the Cianan Irvine situation, which can be found here. He also mentioned to everyone that his serious message video to Cianan was inspired by Mason Velez and Almir Velovic (both Mason and Almir apologized for what happened), and that someone impersonated Stephan by making bad videos out of Cianan and Hillaree, which the imposter turned out to be awesomecaillou5656 AKA The Green & Blue Guy (Mickey Snivy), although Micky apologized for creating the imposter of Stephan. Many users accepted Stephan's apology, as well as the apologies of Mason, Almir, and Mickey. Stephan finally forgave Cianan and they both became friends once again. As a result, production of the Eric movie resumed.

When production resumed, the crew of the film noticed that the film was receiving criticism, most notably from it's fifth name Eric Animations: The First Ultimate Epic Movie, as the title sounded similar to the one from the 2017 DreamWorks Animation film Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. On February 26, 2018, the title was given its sixth name by shorting the title to simply Eric Animations.

On May 8, 2018, a YouTube and Go!Animate/Vyond user named Kevin Fan-animations made a video about Go!Animate/Vyond clones titled Are GoAnimate rip-offs actually rip-offs?, which can be found here. In the video, Kevin explained that Go!Animate/Vyond "rip-offs" aren't really rip-offs and that they're non-profit, meaning that they're not for money. He also explained the criticisms of people who blindly dislike recreations of the site, act hypocritical, blindly report them, and attack and insult the creators of these Go!Animate/Vyond clones without doing any research on those recreations. Kevin's video was well received by many Go!Animate/Vyond users and YouTubers, with many of whom agreed that Go!Animate/Vyond "rip-offs" are actually unofficial recreations/remakes to the site. The video also gave the production crew of the Eric film more confidence to go ahead with their plans of including actual animation to the film.

Fresh Restart
On August 20, 2018, Swaby announced that the Eric movie had official came back in production. However, he also mentioned that there are going to be a lot of major changes with the film in order to not cause anymore unnecessary drama during production of the film or on social media, especially with what happened in the James Sharp and Neighbourhood Animations situations, as well as to not risk having the film cancelled permanently. On September 4, 2018, Swaby announced on Idea Wiki that the film will have another new name, which was originally planned to be the official and final title for the film. The reason is because Swaby felt that the Eric Animations name sounded like the name of a YouTube user or a production company, since the film is actually based on a Go!Animate/Vyond character. He felt that the new name needs to sound more interesting and original compared to its previous titles. The following day, the film received its seventh title Eric Henderson: Rebooted, along with an alternate title Eric Henderson to replace the Eric Animations: The Movie title from promotional material. There are plans of making the film into a hybrid film, meaning that the film would consist of both live-action, computer-generated (CG) animation, and traditional and flash 2D animation, since the crew was inspired by live-action/animated adaptations of cartoons. However, the film is in need of a few more directors to direct the film, as well as Henry Norton returning to the project to continue directing the film, since Norton is the one who started the project in the first place. The film will need professional directors, as well as producers, executive producers, composers, editors, and others to avoid having the same flaws as the infamous and widely panned 2012 animated film Foodfight!.

On September 10, 2018, the crew expressed interest in using the plots of Gabriel Garcia's abandoned MYCUN projects and the drafts of the abandoned Greenytoons: Unite film, along with various original ideas as the plot of the film. Garcia, the writer and former owner of the abandoned MYCUN projects had given the crew of the Eric movie permission to use the scripts of the projects as the plot of the film on August 27, 2018. They will also give him credit for the script, and possibly even have him involved in the film. However, it is not yet confirmed if the crew will use the drafts of Greenytoons: Unite, since they have yet to get permission from James Sharp and Mikko Salovaara to use those drafts.

On September 19, 2018, the team of Worldwide Entertainment Place (WEP), Inc., a mass media company announced on Discord that they joined the production of the Eric film. The company will produce the film under the WEP Films label, with Wild Animation Network (under the WAN Films label), Finley Small Pictures, and some other production companies associated with WEP involved in production of the film.

On October 2, 2018, Swaby announced that he has plans to archive Momogowi's lost Eric videos with the help of NathanWin7587. Originally, most of Momogowi's GoAnimate/Vyond videos were thought to be lost permanently due to the fact that Momogowi himself left social media in 2016 and his Vyond page became "inactive" with all of his videos on there being unavailable. The following day, the film was given its official final title, Eric Rewritten. On October 5, 2018, it was announced that other WEP associated companies such as the newly formed Total Wonder Organization (TWO), Inc., Powerhouse of Entertainment (POE), Inc., and The Funhouse of Media (FOM), LLC would also be joining in production of the film.

On October 19, 2018, a fandom user named "The burgers are better at Hungry Jack's" vandalized the Idea Wiki page for said film and renamed it "Fart in a Jar" However, a user named "SC01real" fixed the page and renamed the page to the film's final title, Eric Rewritten. As a result, TbabaHJ got blocked for 2 weeks by Stephan for general vandalism.

Writing
Writing of the film started in January of 2017, with Stephan Swaby, James Sharp, Gabriel Garcia, Finley Small, Nolan Massey, John Landis, Emman Cortez, Jad Barameh, and Heliter Liskon, Henry Norton, and Taylor JoliCoeur writing the script of the film. On December 11, 2017, after Jad Barahmeh became the new admin of Idea Wiki, Jad announced that he restored the second draft for the script 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 writers of the film the next day. 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 from Go!Animate/Vyond, and fanfictions of some TV shows and movies. 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. Although the film has some inspirations from other films and fanfictions, the film will have a more original story and transcript to avoid making it look like a mockbuster film or a rip-off one.

On September 5, 2018, the production crew announced that the second draft of the script has been abandoned again, this time permanently. The reason is because the film is currently doing a fresh restart to improve production of the film and not cause anymore drama or delays. The transcript will be rewritten.

Animation
When production of the film first started, the film was originally going to use Go!Animate/Vyond for the animation. However, on March 2017, the production crew of the film announced that they had plans to use actual animation for the film instead of simply Vyond/Go!Animate-styled animation. Unfortunately, due to the Go!Animate/Vyond "clone" situation that was still going on during that time, as well as the fact that people were or still are complaining about unofficial and non-profit recreations of Go!Animate/Vyond, plans for a film based on a Go!Animate/Vyond character to include actual and better animation may have seemed unlikely to the crew of the film, and many have feared that they would cause people to dislike the movie and even forcefully have the film scrapped. However, those plans were saved when Kevin Fan-animations released a video about Go!Animate/Vyond recreations in May 2018.

Unlike most Vyond/Go!Animate videos that have cheap, limited, bland, and unprofessional looking animation, as well as lack of effort put into them, this film will have much better looking animation, designs, and techniques that would be a major improvement over Go!Animate/Vyond's animation. When production of the film resumed for a "fresh restart",There are plans of making the film into a hybrid film since September 2018, meaning that the film will likely consist of both live-action, computer-generated (CG) animation, and traditional and flash 2D animation, since the production crew was inspired by live-action/animated adaptations of cartoons.

The animation services for the 2D animation department will be Yowza! Animation, Toon City Animation, Rough Draft Studios, Film Roman, Jam Filled Entertainment, Bardel Entertainment, Titmouse, Inc., Slap Happy Cartoons, Big Jump Entertainment, Saerom Animation, Wang Film Productions, Snipple Animation Studios, and Hornet, Inc, while the animation services for the CG animation department will be handled by Blur Studio, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Base FX, Mikros Image, [[wikipedia:Industrial Light & Magic
 * Industrial Light & Magic]], Weta Digital, and Reel FX Animation Studios. Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Digital will be used for the realistic CGI animation on the human cartoon characters to blend in with the live-action environment.

Planned or scrapped ideas
Eric Animations will have no connection to those said films and will be a stand-alone film and unrelated to those films.
 * The movie distributors were going to collaborate with The Go!Animate Company/Vyond Corporation, as it start a 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 March 2018, Warner Bros., Paramount, Sony and Entertainment One won distribution rights to the film.

 * Kayla was originally going to be the main villain and leader of the Go!Animate Villains Squad (formally The Troublemakers Squad) in the film. However, on May 10, 2017, Stephan Swaby, one of the producers of the film, wanted to have Evil Fred Jones, a character from Samster5677's Scooby-Doo series to be the main leader of the squad and Kayla's new boyfriend. On July 2017, he was later scrapped from the film, and replaced by Gozaburo Kaiba as the main villain and leader of the squad in the film. He was not going to be Kayla's boyfriend though, but as Isabella Once-ler's boyfriend. On August 2017, Kayla was removed from being the villain of the movie due to Kayla resembling Eric Smith's girlfriend who has the same name as her. Kayla will still be in the movie, but as one of the hero's in the movie, and Eric's former rival. Kayla was later replaced by Isabella Once-ler as the second main villain of the film. On March 2018, it was announced that Gozaburo and Isabella would be removed from being the main villains of the film, and they would be later replaced by Bongo as the main villain of the film.

 * Go!Animate/DreamWorks, a short lived merger between The Go!Animate Company, GMA/NDCUnivercity (formally Gundam Mode Anivision), 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 after the Go!Animate/DreamWorks merger ceased to exist. The company was later rebranded as Landscape Pictures in August of that year. 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.
 * Famous Players Entertainment was originally planned to produce the film in mid 2017. However in August 2017, the company was removed from production of the film since Famous Players was a film exhibitor and a cable television service provider, not a film studio. In addition, Famous Players was closed down in 2005, and was acquired by Cineplex Entertainment and Rogers Cable.
 * 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 planned to be a spin-off to Alvin Hung And The Go!Brats: The Movie (2017), A GoAnimate YouTuber Movie (2017), A Go!Animate YouTuber Sequel (2018), and Revenge of StephanTheAnimatorFTW Benjamin SantagatiFTL (2018). However, due to controversies of GoAnimate YouTuber Squad films, as well as the cancellation to A Go!Animate YouTuber Sequel and Revenge of StephanTheAnimatorFTW Benjamin SantagatiFTL on June 2018,
 * This film was planned to be a crossover film during mid 2017. However on January 9, 2018, that plan was scrapped due to the large amount of companies producing the film. Instead, the film will just feature cameos of characters from some TV shows and franchises.
 * However, certain characters from other properties would be used as the influences for the Cast.
 * There are some scenes from the movie that were scrapped.
 * The movie was originally planned to parody the opening to The Cat in the Hat (2003), a live action film based on the book of the same name created by Dr. Seuss by having the opening logos on a burgundy red background, the same color of Eric's hoodie with the theme "Main Title - The Kids" playing over the logos. However, the 2003 Cat in the Hat film was panned by critics and fans of Dr. Suess, and the producers of the Eric Animations movie did not want to make the film look like a rip-off to that said film, so the opening scene of the film was scrapped as it would be too similar.
