Notes/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 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 city Go!Anipaulis first appeared in a mini-series called The Go!Anipaulis Purge created by a YouTuber and Go!Animator named CanadianScout.
 * 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 before 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 first Go!Animate film to have CGI animation.

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 both 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.
