• The film's release was planned for 2022, but, as with the releases of "Soul" (2020) and "Luca" (2021), the film was shown on the Disney+ streaming service instead of its originally planned theatrical release due to the spread of the Omicron strain. Pixar studio employees were once again disappointed by the lack of a theatrical release for a film they had such high hopes for.

In accordance with Disney's policies requiring authenticity in portraying life in all its forms, the film features two characters with diabetes, evidenced by their continuous glucose monitors, which measure glucose levels constantly (as opposed to regular measurements at the same time).
• The temple is based on a traditional Chinese temple in Marysville, California, built by members of the local Chinese diaspora in 1880.
