The original idea film was developed under Warner Animation Group and Point Grey Pictures. Sony Pictures Imageworks will be the film's animation production while WB will do the backgrounds. Michael J. Fox and Freddie Prinze, Jr. were also announced in the cast who provided their voices for the film. On June 15, 2016, Shelley Longworth was announced in the cast.

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.
      • You can see the orgy scene in deleted scenes.
  • 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.
  • In the deleted scenes, girls that were in the background named Hannah Abernathy, Laila Teleja and Lynsey talked, indicating that they were originally going to have a talking appearence in the film.
