It parodies many 2000s cartoons, mostly with the art style, soundtrack, setting, and the series' theme song "Friendship Start" though it was originally going to have a much more modern feel going on and the show was going to target to a much more older audience with the characters being in high school, but it was ultimately scrapped as Nick suggest that the show should be all ages. The series has received positive reviews, many of whom praised its humour, voice acting and writing.
