=== Development ===
According to Alex Woo and Stanley Moore, the target audience of the show is Little kids from 2 to 6 years old. However, it also has a cult following of teen and adult fans of the Canettotoons show Cory the Car. Alex Woo, Stanley Moore and Nick Park, who were fans of Canettotoons, wished to spread its fame to other parts of the world and thus created the series.
The series features the adventures of animated versions of the duo, who have been immensely popular in Brazil since making their debut, and is the second television show to be based on the Canettotoons show after the Canettotoons 30th Anniversary Collection DVD. During production of the series, TBA learned some English TBA of whom speak the language fluently.
Alex Woo and Stanley Moore originally pitched the idea of Cory the Car franchise having their own television series and afterwards Aardman and Cuppa Coffee developed a test short on April 26, 1997 in hopes of making Nick Jr's greenlight the show's production. The pilot was not broadcast, but was initially successful, and got the green-light from Nickelodeon. Finally, it was shown in non-full version as a preview on Nickelodeon VHS tapes. The entire pilot was found by series' director, Darrell Van Citters, and was uploaded to Vimeo on April 5, 2020.
The series was officially announced at Nickelodeon upfront on August 26, 1997. It was originally planned to premiere on December, but was later moved up a week to February 8.

=== Animation ===
The cartoon was one of the few cartoons at the time produced entirely in the United States (thus making their choice of characters quite ironic), with a number of characters designed by famed Canadian artist Lynne Naylor which got the show nominated for the coveted Annie Award. It used a combination of Kuku Studios's animation and Aardman's stop-motion clay.
The show takes inspiration from various works animated in USA such as Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Other inspirations included old MGM and Warner Bros. cartoons, as well as Ubitoons cartoons from 1945 to 1967, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, UPA shorts, and the Disney cartoons.
