When mobile developers [[5th Cell]] wanted to transition from mobile games to the [[:wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]], Series Director [[Drawn to Life Credits|Jeremiah Slaczka]] was determined to make something that would use the DS's features in a unique way. The original concept of drawings coming to life was in Slaczka's head for roughly six months before the company began prototyping it.

During the development of the original game, series publisher [[THQ]] was looking to produce more games themed around their [[:wikipedia:Nickelodeon|Nickelodeon]] IPs. When ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' released, they noticed the conceptual similarities between it and the [https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/SpongeBob_SquarePants_(series) Spongebob Squarepants] episode "[https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Frankendoodle Frankendoodle]." As a result, a [[Spongebob]]-themed version of ''Drawn to Life'' was envisioned. Due to [[5th Cell]] working on ''[[:wikipedia:Lock's Quest|Lock's Quest]]'' at the time, Japanese developer [[Altron]] was contracted to develop this new spin-off. The game was released on September 15th, 2008 in North America, with the European and Australian release occurring later that month and South Korea receiving it on November 18th - Strangely, though, the game never saw a Japanese release.
