An advertisement for the unreleased game ''[[Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers]]'' was going to appear in the film, as it can be seen above some of the aisles, as shown in the theatrical trailer, but this was removed from the actual film, as the hard drives containing this early version of the movie were reportedly stolen.<ref>[https://www.animationmagazine.net/2012/05/the-long-strange-odyssey-of-foodfight/ The Long, Strange Odyssey of ‘Foodfight!’]</ref>
An unexplained cameo appearance for the unreleased game ''[[Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers]]'' appeared in the 2000-2003 sizzle reel made for the film, as it can be seen above some of the aisles, also thus appearing in the original 2011 theatrical trailer. This is absent from the actual film, which was believed to have different animation because the hard drives containing an early version of the movie were allegedly stolen.<ref>[https://www.animationmagazine.net/2012/05/the-long-strange-odyssey-of-foodfight/ The Long, Strange Odyssey of ‘Foodfight!’]</ref> This has since been debunked by the fan documentary ''Rotten'', which consults original crewmembers that express scepticism this ever happened, not hearing about it at the time or even hinting it was all a lie to excuse continuing to miss deadlines on the movie.<ref>[https://youtu.be/xgBO9c3WKII ROTTEN: Behind the Foodfight - YouTube]</ref>
