He and Munroe wrote the story and the script for the movie. In 2026, the film was put in production by John H. Williams and his studio Vanguard Animation, with the cast being hired that same year. The film was animated by Cinesite and its division, L'Atelier Animation.
The film premiered on November 15th, 2027 in Canada by Entertainment One, and a limited theatrical release in the United States on November 24th, by Lionsgate while One Cool Pictures distributed the film in China.
