Principal photography commenced in Ottawa, Canada. Filming began in June 2023 and concluded in September 2023, with director Bailey noting that the previous copyright status would affect the film’s release but not its production. The film draws inspiration from “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” (2023), another horror film featuring a character that entered the public domain, as well as the crew’s fondness for Disney media.
