Trivia:
This will be the fifth time Josh Gad has done a voiceover performance for a major motion picture.

During the Corgi segment of the movie, the missing tail was humorous because Welsh Corgis are born with their tail naturally short or missing.

Prior to theatrical release, a controversy arose when a leaked footage surfaced and appeared to show a distressed dog being forcibly submerged into turbulent pool water during filming.
