## Production

The film's production began immediately after Happy Wheels: Chaos Ensues was released and after HIP 2's cancellation, it initially went well but progress eventually stopped in November, due to a lack of interest and was not considered satisfactory, and was cancelled in Summer of 2019, another reason for its cancellation was due to the possible runtime being lower than 50 minutes, which DBG did not want.

## Reception

Reception to what was completed was initially mostly positive, however, retrospectively, the reviews have been more lukewarm, praising some of the humor and characters, but criticizing the backstory.

## Cancelled Sequels and Spin-off's

There were plans to expand this version of HIP, into a big franchise, including sequels, a prequel and a spin off movie. These were all cancelled after Evil Begins got cancelled.

### Planned Sequels

Two sequels for HIP: Evil Begins were planned, they were to be titled HIP 2: Unchained and HIP 3: Triumphant (respectively), not many plot details are known of either of the sequels, aside from the fact that HIP's cousin Tristan would've likely appeared in one of the sequels.

### Planned Prequel

A prequel named HIP Zero (or HIP 0) was also planned, which would have explored HIP's backstory more, it would've taken place between 1988 (Jim's/HIP's birth year) and a little after Hailey's death (in 2009).

### Planned Spin-Off

a spin-off film named Judo was also planned, the idea came from a user named DaKid235, which would have had HIP as a real villain, and the main character Judo to stop him, with the help of his/her circus.
