The film is narrated by Kenneth Welsh in English, France Castel in French and Rade Šerbedžija in Serbo-Croatian.
The film was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Animated Short Film at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards,[4] a Prix Iris nominee for Best Animated Film at the 20th Quebec Cinema Awards, and an Annie Award nominee for Best Animated Short Subject at the 45th Annie Awards.[5] It was submitted to the 2018 Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film,[6] but was not selected as a finalist.
