Trivia
The film used 3D motion capture techniques to digitally record the physical performances of the actors before "skinning" them with their animated forms.

As of 2012, this is the only motion capture film to feature an entirely original story and not be based on existing source material.

The actors had to go through motion capture acting in order to animate the characters. The actors had to wear motion capture suits with little dots glued on their faces and a headpiece glued to their head with motion capture dots. After they took off their suits, the glue would cause irritation to their hair and scalp, but luckily they'd get a head massage with shampoo.

Goofs
The driver side on the police car switches between the two times it is seen. The first time it is shown as a normal car in the United States. When the police arrive to arrest the kids it pulls up onto the curb with driver side moved to the incorrect side.

Before DJ, Chowder and Jenny went to Nebbercracker's house to try out their dummy plan, the scene focuses on a picture DJ took, which is of the tree outside the house. When the scene changes and becomes real, it showed the three of them walking towards the house, which was on the right side of the screen. If DJ had taken the photo from his house, they should have been moving towards the other side where the house should have been.

When Chowder sprays Jenny with water from his water gun in Nebbercracker's basement, the water mark disappears in the next shot of her which is just after a brief shot of DJ. The water could not have dried that quickly.
