The Games Animation studio had hired the Big Cartoons studio to work as a subcontractor for the fourth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show to take advantage of the lower value of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.[3] Arthur Filloy had been sent to Australia to supervise the work of the Mr. Big Cartoons studio for Blazing Entrails.[3] Filloy had left The Ren & Stimpy Show after completing Blazing Entrails as he felt that the rate of being paid $6 for every foot of animation to be too low.[3] Filloy was unaware that the Mr. Big studio had informed Games Animation that he was still working on the show.[3] Filloy recalled: "It got a phone call from a rather irate Jim Ballantine, asking me what the fuck I was doing. Ballantine told me that I was supposed to be directing Ren & Stimpy over at Mr. Big. I was just as confused as he was, and I informed him that I had only timed one cartoon and gave it up. He asked if [Mr. Big had approached me since then], I said nope and boy did he get sore. Ballatine said he'd be in Sydney within three days. A day or so later, I get a phone call from Jim and he was furious, he wanted to talk over at my house and there he told me how he kicked [Mr. Big's] ass. He got me off their contract and hired me directly at Games. We struck a deal that I would get paid a good salary from Games, but I was to direct all the cartoons at Mr. Big".[3]
