The storyboarders also do the writing, taking a two-page outline and turning it into a full script.

Mercury had also done Wander Over Yonder and the Mickey Mouse series.[22] For the rest of first season, the animation was done in the Philippines.[23] The second season was animated by Sugarcube and Rough Draft Studios, both located in South Korea.[24][25]
