Production and release
Production on the series may have begun in January 2017.

The series premiered on the YouTube channel for DreamworksTV on July 9, 2017 and it was renewed for a second season on December 13, 2017. The second season made its LA premiere on January 12, 2019 and YouTube premiere on September 18, 2019. In February 2021, Colaleo revealed that the series was a stepping stone to Ollie & Scoops, giving him showrunning experience, that he came up with the series specifically for DreamWorks and that if he had waited one or two years, the series wouldn't have happened at all. He also noted that he had to accept notes from a producer, and said that while he had ideas for more seasons, DreamWorks only agreed to two seasons.

In a January 2022 interview, Colaleo, the show's creator, noted that he learned from Too Loud to have a more diverse cast, stated that each episode is about five minutes long, and said that he made the mayor of the town a "David Lynch cameo caricature." He also described the show as about kindness, like his other show Ollie & Scoops, and noted that DreamWorks paid for Too Loud, not him, like with Ollie & Scoops. Colaleo also was the art director for the series.

Vivienne Medrano, creator of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss worked as an animator on the show. She called her experience on the series "a delight." She also worked as a character designer on the series.

Marie Lumart and Ashley Nichols were additional animators for the show. Additionally, Ethan C. Harper was a character cleanup artist for the first season of the series and Natasha Kline was a storyboarder.

The series was later added to Amazon Prime.

Reception
Reception of this series has been relatively positive. Owl Fisher and Fox Fisher, in The Guardian, called the show quirky and fast-paced. They also argued that the show, in its second season, makes coming out as trans, appear rewarding and positive, giving children an "insight into the lives of transgender kids and teenagers," helping teenagers and transgender kids "feel seen and supported." Another review by librarian Burkely Hermann, in I Love Libraries, described the series as a show that those of all ages can enjoy, especially "its message about the value of libraries." Hermann in later reviews, compared the series to libraries, and librarians, in Mira, Royal Detective and Welcome to the Wayne.
