Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The five wolfdogs playing Alpha were Czechoslovakian Vlcaks, a breed literally created in 1955 to mimic wolves for military work. Method casting.
The invented language is based on Proto-Indo-European reconstructions by linguists — they actually built a plausible 20,000-year-old dialect instead of going 'Grug talk simple.'
