Disney didn't want Tom the Lizard promoting 'Hoppers,' but Pixar made the rejected D23 promo anyway during downtime.
At View, director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Grindle revealed how the side project went viral and became a surprise marketing win.

I feel more and more like Carl. Did this back in 2019 apparently. When you draw a face you have to feel the way you want it to look. I don’t have to try very hard to get to this today. Adventure is out there!
