Production

The animated project Save Ralph was announced on March 24, 2021, "conceived as part of the #SaveRalph campaign", in an effort from Humane Society International to ban animal testing around the world. That same day, a teaser video for the short film was released, with actor Taika Waititi sharing the official promotional poster for the film and writing on Twitter that the project was "a cool thing that is coming soon.

The models of each character were hand-made and created by puppet maker Andy Gent from Arch Model Studio based in United Kingdom, who said that the process of creating Ralph took over four months and covering him in fur took five weeks. On producing the short film, Jeff Vespa said he wanted to create a project where people would want to watch and learn about the dangers of animal testing, deciding an animated film would be the best approach.
