This film is based on the "Mac and Trouble" comic book by Rusty Gilligan, who also plays "Mac" in the teaser. The characters are based on his real-life cats of the same name.
This film is a 'family affair' of comic and cartoon artists. Rusty Gilligan (the creator) - Daniel Gorman (Mac and Trouble comic artist) - Jay Mooers (known collaborator with Gilligan) are all comic artists... also Michael Das (animator/producer) and Nassir D. Luccinada (animator) are also involved with other animations for the production studio behind the animation.
The small images seen in the newspaper in teaser #1 were actually taken from a Mac and Trouble newspaper strip drawn by Dan Gorman - the voice of Trouble.
