Production
In 2007, Akiva Goldsman pitched his idea to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for his computer-animated concept about "a boy discovering a girl from the magical pool". MGM later announced that the film was in production with its scheduled release in 2011 with Jane Hartwell producing.

In January 2009, Steve Hickner was hired to direct the film with Peter Ackerman co-writing the screenplay with John Hamburg and Goldsman. Later that month, it was reported that Jonah Bobo and Kiernan Shipka were in talks to voice their lead characters which were confirmed next month. In November 2009, Matthew Broderick, Alicia Silverstone, Ben Kingsley and Geena Davis joined the voice cast. Following MGM's emergence from bankruptcy, it was announced that Warner Bros. Pictures would co-distribute the film with MGM after winning a bidding competition against Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, and Paramount Pictures for the distribution rights. Unlike most other MGM computer-animation movies from Starz Animation, the film was animated by Reel FX Creative Studios.

In November 2010, Marc Shaiman was announced to score and write songs for the film's soundtrack.
