Trivia

 * Due to the fact the orgy scene isn't included in the film, it is the first Point Grey Pictures film to not include any orgy scenes (Sausage Party: Dawn of the Humans doesn't count because even though there wasn't an orgy scene in the sequel, but is seen in flashbacks from the first film.).
 * It also makes it Point Grey Pictures' first lightest film.
 * However, there was originally gonna be an orgy scene, but was removed in order to get to avoid an NC-17 rating.
 * This is the third animated film by Point Grey Pictures, first being Sausage Party and second being its sequel, Sausage Party: Dawn of the Humans.
 * Apparently, this film comes out 5 months after the release of Sausage Party: Dawn of the Humans.

 * Bastard - 8
 * Pussy - 5
