Trivia[]
- He bears a striking resemblance to Cornelius Evazan from Star Wars.
- In an extended cut of the scene where the giant snake begins to eat the Corpse Dad, he is almost completely swallowed whole, while fighting the snake and flailing the entire time. The animator who shot this scene extended it purely for fun, much to the amusement of the rest of the crew during dailies.
