Production notes
Based on the popular series of children’s books.
Following DreamWorks Animation's reorganization in early 2015, the studio announced that the film will be produced outside of the studio's internal pipeline to significantly lower the production costs. The film was moved to being animated at Mikros Image in Montreal, Canada.
In mid-2015, director Rob Letterman left the film, and was replaced by David Soren.
