Writer/Director/Producer Allen Wolf created a board game company--Morning Star Games--to help raise financing for the movies. He created five games that won awards (including Toy of the Year) and are now distributed around the world. Each game has a message on the back signed "Allen Wolf, filmmaker." The games are You're Pulling My Leg (which appears in the movie), Slap Wacky, You're Pulling My Leg Jr, Pet Detectives, and JabberJot.
One of 20 U.S. film projects selected for the IFP Financing Market in New York City.
The script was a finalist in the Brass Brad script competition, the Phoenix Film Festival, and the Beverly Hills Film Festival.
