Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Butt Detective originated as a picture book series in 2012, part of Japan's 'unko boom' where toilet humor became unexpectedly educational.
The counterfeit art plot specifically references real 2014 Knoedler Gallery scandal, which the director researched extensively for this 71-minute film about a butt.
