Development
The Go!Animate Company and The Henry Norton Group announced the film in December 25, 2016. The film was originally titled as The Eric Show: The Movie. It is the 2nd film for Go!Animate to team up with Warner Bros for a motion picture since "The GoAnimate Movie" (2014). This is also the first Go!Animated film to work with 3D computer-animation.

The film was planned to be produced by John Harry Lau Productions, but in March 20, 2017, John Harry Lau announced that he does not not want to work on the production of the film. So in March 21, 2017, Paramount Animation will produce the film, instead of John Harry Lau Productions. (See on Trivia for more!) In March 27, 2017, Sharpness Knight agreed to make the film, and have GreenyWorld Pictures co-produce the film.

Casting
While the film is on development, Alvin Hung, founder and CEO of The Go!Animate Company, announced in 2016 that the text-to-speech voices from Ivona got removed in March 31, 2017, after their licenses expire, which was the same day The Boss Baby comes out in theaters. Eric, one of the Ivona voices planned to be used to voice Eric Animations, got removed from Go!Animate, and its division Go!Animate For Schools on March 7, 2017, along with the Jennifer voice. On March 9, 2017, Cheryl Norton announced that voice actors and actress will play the characters to replace the Ivona voices' roles in the film. Justin, one of Ivona's text-to-speech voices that Go!Animate haven't used was bought by Go!Animate. He may be the only Ivona voice on Go!Animate and Go!Animate For Schools after the rest of the Ivona voices get removed. The removed voices are replaced with new voices. However, Go!Animate lied about the removal of the rest of the IVONA voices.

Film Title
The film was originally titled as The Eric Show: The Movie. However, the title was very unusual and it wasn't a great title for the film. In March 15, 2017, the title was changed to Eric Animate: The Movie. The title "Eric Animate" is very similar to Go!Animate. But to avoid getting the movie sued by Go!Animate, and then cancelled, the film's title was changed for the 2nd and final time. The title was changed to Eric Animations: The Movie in March 20, 2017.

Animation
The film is to be a mix of hand-drawn animation, 2D digital Flash animation, and 3D computer-generated imagery. The animation will be made by Go!Animate, Rough Draft Studios, and Animal Logic using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro as the storyboarding software, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Animate as the matte painting, visual development, design, 2D layout, and 2D animation softwares, Autodesk Mudbox, The Foundry Modo and ZBrush as the modeling softwares, Toon Boom Harmony as the 2D animation software, Blender as the CGI layout and CGI animation software, and Autodesk Maya as the CGI animation and rigging software. Autodesk Softimage will be the animation, compositing, rendering, and lighting software, The Foundry Nuke will be the animation camera and compositing software, and Houdini Effects, Adobe After Effects, and NDCUnivercity's RenderMotion will be the visual effects software for the film. There are other softwares that will be used to make this film including The Foundry Mari as the texture painting software and Pixar's Renderman as the rendering and lighting software. The animation styles and techniques will be somewhat similar to that from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, and DreamWorks Animation.
