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. But after his death on July 6, 2019, he was replaced by Bradley Steven Perry until he changed it to Jake T. Austin. He was later changed it to Shada, but this time voicing Chris until his name was changed 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. Zippy's personality is based on SpongeBob SquarePants, from ',  from ', and Bendy from  all rolled up into one. The characters and and town were inspired by TV Shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, ', ', 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.

Greene brought on in Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh as producers and his sister as co-director. His friend, Cameron Perez to be a part of some of their episodes. The writing team consists of original writers Craig Young, Shelia Dinsmore and J.D. Dan Smith, with newcomers being Eric Shaw, Norton Virgien, etc.

Critical reception
Zippy has received positive reviews from critics particularly for its appeal to different age groups, and the show has earned numerous awards and accolades throughout its run. James Poniewozik of Time magazine described the title character as "Disney's version of SpongeBob" According to Laura Fries of Variety magazine, the series is "a thoughtful and inventive cartoon about a hopelessly optimistic and resilient sea sponge ... Devoid of the double entendres rife in today's animated TV shows, this is purely kid's stuff. ... However, that's not to say that Zippy is simplistic or even juvenile. It's charming and whimsical, but clever enough to appeal to teens and college-aged kids, as well." The New York Times ' critic Joyce Millman said Zippy "is clever without being impenetrable to young viewers and goofy without boring grown-ups to tears. It's the most charming toon on television, and one of the weirdest. And it's also good, clean fun, which makes sense because it is, after all, about a sponge." Millman wrote, "His relentless good cheer would be irritating if he weren't so darned lovable and his world so excellently strange. ... Like the films by, Zippy joyfully dances on the fine line between fantasy and reality, guilelessness and camp, the warped and the sweet."

Awards and accolades
Zippy has received many awards and nominations; among these are four Emmy Awards (Outstanding Special Class Animated Program in 2023; Outstanding Sound Editing – Animation" in 2024; Outstanding Children's Animated Series in 2025; and Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program in 2018 for Kenny); six Annie Awards; and two BAFTA Children's Awards.
