Production
On May 3, 2010, two weeks after the successful release of Puppet Pals 2, 20th Century Fox Animation announced that a TV series based on the Puppet Pals film series is being made, which was scheduled to premiere in 2011. Lori Forte, Rich Moore, and David Silverman (for season 1 only) returned to executive produce the TV show while most of the film's characters would be recast. In September 2010, it was announced that Canadian animation company Nitrogen Studios would handle the series' animation in Vancouver, with a planned premiere date of May 2011.

For the series' first season, Nitrogen Studios worked on the animation for the show with Fox Television Animation and since season 2, Arc Productions took over the animation until season 5.

The series premiered on Fox Family on May 20, 2011. It had also aired as reruns on Disney Channel. As of May 2020, the show is now available on Disney+. All five seasons were later released on DVD by Shout! Factory.
