Production
The Games Animation studio had hired the Big Cartoons studio to work as a subcontractor for the fourth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show to take advantage of the lower value of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar. Arthur Filloy had been sent to Australia to supervise the work of the Mr. Big Cartoons studio for Blazing Entrails. Filloy had left The Ren & Stimpy Show after completing Blazing Entrails as he felt that the rate of being paid $6 for every foot of animation to be too low. Filloy was unaware that the Mr. Big studio had informed Games Animation that he was still working on the show. Filloy recalled: "It got a phone call from a rather irate Jim Ballantine, asking me what the fuck I was doing. Ballantine told me that I was supposed to be directing Ren & Stimpy over at Mr. Big. I was just as confused as he was, and I informed him that I had only timed one cartoon and gave it up. He asked if [Mr. Big had approached me since then], I said nope and boy did he get sore. Ballatine said he'd be in Sydney within three days. A day or so later, I get a phone call from Jim and he was furious, he wanted to talk over at my house and there he told me how he kicked [Mr. Big's] ass. He got me off their contract and hired me directly at Games. We struck a deal that I would get paid a good salary from Games, but I was to direct all the cartoons at Mr. Big".

Reception
The American critic Thad Komorowski gave Blazing Entrails three stars out of five.
