- Marc F. Adler intended to create a computer animated film that wasn't a comedy, and that reflected the unrest of contemporary society.
- The film was released on 2160 screens and grossed a total of $690,000 against a budget of $40 million. It had the lowest per-theater gross on its opening weekend of any wide release in American film history, breaking the record set by The Ten Commandments (2007). The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (2012) broke Delgo's opening-weekend record in summer 2012.
- The movie was scripted as the first film of a potential trilogy.
- This film was fully financed via private equity.
- As part of the marketing for Delgo (2008), the production team uploaded Digital Dailies to the internet, allowing fans to follow production as it happened. The Digital Dailies got an average of 500,000 hits a month. Many of the production's animators were contacted by university professors and Hollywood agents on the strength of these Digital Dailies alone.
