What's left behind the scenes
- The narrative structure of each season of the series is similar to a well-known children's fairy tale. The first book was inspired by Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. The second book was inspired by Carlo Collodi's 'The Adventures of Pinocchio'. The third book was inspired by J.M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan'. The main characters of the fourth book bear an unmistakable resemblance to the characters in Mark Twain's novel 'The Prince and the Pauper'.
- The series was intended to consist of 8 seasons (with the number 8 turned on its side representing infinity). There were also plans to create a special Christmas episode for the franchise, as well as to explore themes of interdimensional connections, harmful addictions, childbirth, relationships, consent, and transgenerational trauma (psychological trauma formed across generations of family members as a result of traumatic events and circumstances and passed down to descendants).
- According to Dennis, an entire scene was cut from the episode 'The Party Car' in Season 4, in which Ryan goes off to have fun, leaving Min under a table where he was trying to take on another form; however, the table turns into Alan Dracula, and Min finds himself among people in nothing but his underwear.
- After Warner Bros. merged with Discovery in 2022, 'Infinite Train' became one of many projects removed from the HBO Max streaming service without any warning. Much of the content was also removed from YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and music platforms. Owen Dennis described what happened as 'unprofessional and crude bastardy.' A few days after this move, the series topped the iTunes charts, DVDs were selling at Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy, and prices for DVDs on eBay literally skyrocketed. Fans uploaded all four seasons and a significant portion of the deleted YouTube videos to Google Drive.
- According to the series' director, writer, and producer Owen Dennis, each season of the project is essentially a morality play (a special type of performance where the characters are abstract concepts rather than people), aimed at helping the viewer resolve their own problems and learn to appreciate life.
