| Trivia |
In a 2022 interview, Lachlan Pendragon spoke about the intentions behind the film's unique narrative presentation: "It's a very 'meta' film. Stop-motion for me is so much about the craft of the film. I wanted the audience to be very conscious that they were watching something that had been made, something that was completely fabricated. So finding ways to incorporate as much of that making of, the behind-the-scenes, into the finished product, was my way of celebrating that and inviting the audience to be part of the filmmaking experience, to come back stage and watch over the animator's shoulder."
