On his voice acting for the role, Shelton told EW, "They kept saying, 'More country!' I felt like I was doing a voice-over for Dukes of Hazzard."
In addition to lending his voice, Shelton has written a song for the movie. "I can write things about myself and my life, but I don't have a whole lot of experience being shot out of a slingshot at pigs."
