Production
In December 2012, C.H. Greenblatt announced that a Ben and HotSpot theatrical film was in production. On November 12, 2013, it was announced the cast --  Beau Mallard, Tim Martin, Talia Gonzalez, and Gilbert Gottfried -- would reprise their roles, with Rob Dyrdek, Matt Chapman, Felix Kjellberg, and Jack McBrayer joining the cast. That same month, it was announced that it would be released on November 28, 2014, but later was rescheduled to November 27, 2015. On July 10, 2015, Greenblatt announced on Twitter that Dooble from Too More Eggs would appear in the film as he said: "And yes, Dooble will appear in the film because I hate him and that he is very annoying and should be killed. And he will be voiced by Matt Chapman, but I don't hate him because he created a good web series called Homestar Runner."

Release
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on November 12, 2015, and was released theatrically on November 25, 2015.
