Several animated television series have started in similar incubator-type formats, including Adventure Time and Bee and PuppyCat.

The project began in 2014 when Frederator Studios and Sony Pictures Animation called for pitches from animators around the world. Twelve five-minute shorts were produced, and one would become a limited series on Cartoon Hangover.{{Cite news|url=https://vizworld.com/2014/11/pitch-your-animated-toon-to-go-cartoons-a-new-idea-incubator-with-funding-by-sony-pictures-animation/|title=Pitch your animated toon to GO!
