Development
The Royal Families Vs. The Monsters long planned; Co-creator Jonathan approached Sony Pictures Animation Studios for a movie, but they refused for over a year. Co-creator Jonathan Walpe was concerned with L's challenge to do something more cinematically consequential and inspiring without losing what he called the "cadence" of Royals vs. Monsters. During a hiatus from season five post-production, "Making a 75 minute film about Elisabeht Fighting the Robot would be a mistake, I think it was supposed to be Elisabeht and her Families fighting the Monsters. That's where that comes the comedy, having these Four naive characters, Elisabeht, Charles, Louis, Antoinette, in this dangerous heroic quest with all the odds against them.

 Writing 

In 2024,. The film's plot originally had Elisabeht and her Families Traveling to Another Dimension and Fighting Monsters; an obvious reference to the 2021 film, The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021), Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (voiced by Louis) later said it was a "joke" plot to keep fans busy. Jonatant directed the film and wrote it at five and are produced by the animators of the series (Peter Ramsey

Aditya Sood) teaming up with animators from Sony Pictures Animation. Perez said, "It was extremely fun, even if it got a little fun in there." At the start, Jonathan screened a number of Disney short films and works by two cartoon characters: Rapunzel and Lego The Movie, two obvious inspirations for The Royal Families. For the film, the writers created a hero's quest in Manhattan and Paris: the search for the Star Crystals, from which Jonathan had some of the idea for the Nintendo Splatoon game, Catherine Taber (the voice of La mere de Jade) said of the plot, "It's just bonkers. I'm continually dazzled and thrilled with what these guys have come up with."

Once the film was finished, Jonathan wanted to put on a series "so as not to jump the shark". However, Nickelodeon wanted a series and Jonathan said he had more thoughts on what to do with The Royal Families; Jonathan said, "Well, when we were making the movie [in 2026], we were creating the show. There were concerns among Columbia Pictures executives." As a result, Jonathant stepped down as the series' co-showrunner and Perez stepped down as series producer to continue his own series on ", appointing Jonatant to remain showrunner (even when he leaves to make films of animation for a little while.) Perez was one of Jonathan's favorite crew members: "[I] trusted him completely." Jonathan no longer wrote or directed the series on a day-to-day basis, but did reviewed each episode and submitted suggestions: "I think when I'm old enough I can still paint, I don't know how to direct shows. In 2037, Jonathan returned to the animated show

Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News gave The Royal Familie Vs. The Monsters four out of five stars, saying; "The spirit in the age of the Middle Ages remains true: cheerful jokes, full of action and adventure, random, references that blink and you'll miss them and, above all, a silly and stubbornly sentimental sequence that only the cynic can grumpier might reject". Colin Covert of the Star Tribune gave the film three out of five stars, saying it "weaves a silly – and often funny – spell. It's a rambling little B-movie that unfolds rather entertainingly." Jen Chaney of The Washington Post gave the film two out of four stars, saying; it's "fun for the whole family", praising it for its suspenseful moments as well as its references to popular culture.
