In March 2008 Mathis prohibited Myers from viewing the movie, even though he appears in it. In April 2008 XVIVO, an animation company, notified the producers that the company would sue for copying a film, but the company eventually dropped its lawsuit after agreeing that no copyright infringement had occurred.
