There are questions on how it was made too: the Spider-Verse-inspired look, the Pulp Fiction diner shot that became DreamWorks' longest single take, Daniel Pemberton's score, the Billie Eilish trailer song, the box office run, the Netflix holiday specials with their replacement cast, and the books where Mr. Wolf is called Moe.
