## Background

This film's budget was provided mainly by Taco Bell and Jeep for advertisement.

### Music

Masafumi Takada returned to compose the music for this film adaptation.

### Distribution

This film was shown mainly as a preview ad before the previews at movie theaters during Fathom events and Sonic Drive-Ins.

## Reception

Due to the low profile nature of its distribution, the reception was not particularly present, as most viewers forgot about the film entirely after its airing. However, its star-studded cast managed to catch the eye of some viewers, who attempted to create their own version of the on-screen games and were promptly detained. Marketing numbers indicate that the film succeeded in its goal, due to a sharp uptick in sales for the Danganronpa Collection on the Nintendo Switch.

## Trivia

* ~~Let me out let me out let me out~~
* Many viewers insist that this film was actually titled "Dead Bears Tell No Tales". While this is agreed to not be the case, it is unknown whether or not this is the result of a prototpye copy being released, or an example of the Mandela Effect.
