TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This is the first full-length animated feature made by the New Zealand film industry.

Murray Ball (creator of Footrot Flats and the film's director) and John Clarke (voice of the film's central character) died within a month of each other in early 2017.

Toward the end of the closing credits, there is a *warning* which reads: Anyone caught pirating this picture will be eaten by the Murphys' Hellhounds.'

Mackenzie from the TV series Bluey is a tribute to Dog from Footrot Flats.
