Does anybody know if the director is related to the other famous Bill Watterson from Ohio, the Calvin and Hobbes creator? 70.122.86.238 (talk) 17:26, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- I would also like to know that. Usually I'd just assume that it was just a coincidence, but the premise of this film is a little too close to the kind of thing that would happen in Calvin and Hobbes for me to write it off out of hand. That said, the cursory investigation that I've done is pointing to it being two different guys as the official Dave Made A Maze website and the official Calvin and Hobbes website do not seem to link to each other (although admittedly I didn't search either site particularly thoroughly)131.106.18.48 (talk) 06:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- This is a different Bill Watterson:
Cartoonist Bill Watterson was born in 1948, and the six-year-old protagonist of his Generation X-defining comic strip Calvin and Hobbes often used cardboard boxes as the vehicle for his flights of fantasy. Director Bill Watterson was born in 1973, making him 12 years old when Calvin and Hobbes debuted, and the 30-something protagonist of his movie Dave Made a Maze uses cardboard boxes as the vehicle for his flight of fantasy.
