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 are getting removed in March 31, 2017, after their licenses expire, which is 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 will 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.

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.
