Production
Kyla Greene got the idea and based the character her imaginary friend until it evolved into a character and started doing drawings of him. His brother, Brandon sees a future in her character. It was original three characters instead of four. It was just Zippy, Ceela, and Jenny. Wet Willy was added to the trio because Greene thought having an opposite element as a best friend. He created some of the characters, plot, story, and personalities. He had to get permission from her about her character or give her credit. Back in 2011, an old friend of Greene from Cordero School, Aja Smith created three characters named Zoomie, Jolly, and Pinky. They were originally going to be minor characters characters but Greene started to love these characters and added them to the Zippy team.

Zippy was originally going to be voiced by Tara Strong, Max Charles, Jeremy Shada, and Pamela Adlon. But picked Michaela Dietz as the final choice. Billy was originally named Christopher Higgins and was going to be voiced by Cameron Boyce. But after his death on July 6, 2019, he was replaced by Bradley Steven Perry until he changed it to Jake T. Austin until he changed it to Jeremy Shada. He even changed his name to Billy in reference to the character from the Gremlins films.

Kyla Greene called Zippy's species zip people to go with the name. Brandon and Kyla both came up with the Idea called Ziptown.

The characters and and town were inspired by TV Shows such as Spongebob Squarepants, The Simpsons, Archie Comics, Sesame Street, and other Disney Channel shows.

Originally, Flambo was going to be a secret agent. But it was changed because it's way to similar to Agent P. from Phineas and Ferb. To do so he added a buddy to tag along with Flambo and to have the animals and babies talk to each other while older people cannot understand them. What's-It-Face was going to be a Star Wars-like villain but was changed to a Joker-like villain. Zippy was suppose to start off as a comic book but was moved to the small screen. To let not his actor ideas go to waste he gave the roles to different characters.
