 * The film marks Harrison Ford's first voice-acting role since the animated segment in the 1978 television film Star Wars Holiday Special.
 * The film is the second time that Tiffany Haddish and Nick Kroll are in together, following Uncle Drew, as well as the second film that Kevin Hart and Haddish are in together, following Night School.
 * The film is the second animated film to star both Kevin Hart and Nick Kroll following Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie in 2017.
 * The fourth animated film to be rated PG for some action and rude humor, after Computeropolis: The Deep Web, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and Ralph Breaks the Internet.
