== Production ==
=== Announcement ===
The production staff had considered a third film adaptation of Codename: Kids Next Door since early in the series. Because this time, it will now be a feature-length theatrical movie. The voice cast was signed on to do the film in 2009, and work then began on the script.
The film was announced on July 5, 2010, with Cartoon Network Studios being involved with production. Mr. Warburton, who created the show, is directing and writing the film, alongside Andy Rheingold as director and Robert Leighton as writer and will also be the executive producer of the movie, alongside Susan Holden, David Starr, Steve Oakes, Richard Winkler and Jonathan Paley and Matt Peters and Abigail Nesbitt are going to be producing the film, alongside David Kirschner, Bruce Knapp and Kris Greengrove as producers. The film marks the first time a theatrical Cartoon Network film is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, instead of Warner Animation Group since the group's formation in 2013.
Work continued on the writing and storyboarding from 2010 onwards, taking place at the multi-media company Curious Pictures where Warburton first pitched Codename: Kids Next Door before the series got the green-light. The writers spent six months discussing a plot, and each of them offered big ideas.
=== Development ===
Warner Bros. had already begun the process of starting development of movies with budgets of around $100 million. The intellectual property for these films was meant to be supplied by Warner Bros. Animation, Hanna-Barbera (Warner Bros. Animation's in-name only division), Cartoon Network and Turner Entertainment (also both Time-Warner divisions) among others and included The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Samurai Jack, Adventure Time, Cow and Chicken, and more, of course, Codename: Kids Next Door. Cartoon Network had been approaching the original crew from the television series to make a high-profile, animated theatrical feature-length film adaptation and had long wanted to partner with Warner Bros. Pictures to release a KND film given the network's extraordinary legacy in the world of animation, including some of the most enduring characters on cable television history.
Creator Mr. Warburton agreed to make a feature film version of the show with the promise it would be the first of a planned trilogy. During development stages of the film, he and his co-director and co-writer Mo Willems intended to revisit some of the greatest films of the time, with Scarface and The Dark Knight having the core inspirations for the film.
=== Casting ===
The initial Warner Bros. announcement listed the principal voice cast of Codename: Kids Next Door – Ben Diskin, Lauren Tom, Dee Bradley Baker, and Cree Summer – reprising their roles alongside an ensemble cast reprising their roles as well. On February 20, 2012, it was announced that Bill Farmer joined the voice cast. By August 22, 2012, actors Danny Cooksey and Kath Soucie were in negotiations to join the cast. On January 14, 2013, Jeremy Shada and Ashley Johnson were confirmed additions to the cast. On March 18, Rachael MacFarlane stated through Twitter that she had begun recording for the film's songs.
At San Diego Comic-Con in September 2013, actress Bailee Madison was announced to voice the new character Numbuh 842,843. On August 6, 2014, it was reported by Variety that Dan Castellaneta and Justin Shenkarow had joined the cast as the voices of the new characters Principal Jones and Numbuh 165,166. Hey Arnold! voice actor Francesca Smith confirmed via Twitter on November 25, 2014 that she would also be a part of the film's cast, voicing a new character Numbuh 588,876. On March 11, 2015, Wally Wingert and Cameron Boyce were also confirmed additions to the cast.
On June 15, 2015, more new voice actors for the film: Jerry Trainor, Judy Greer, Nathan Kress, Josh Gad, Lane Toran, Miranda Cosgrove, Allison Janney, Mindy Kaling, Rodger Bumpass, Kimberly Brooks, Patton Oswalt, Clancy Brown and Nika Futterman, joined the cast. John DiMaggio, who supplied two guest voices in two episodes of the series, was cast as the new character Big Bad Brian after he told the staff that he wanted to be part of the film. For "about a week", he was to reprise the role of Big Brother, but when the character was omitted from the film, he ended up voicing Big Bad Brian himself.
=== Animation ===
The feature animation was handled by Rough Draft Studios in Glendale, California and Seoul, South Korea. The crew used the same processes from the original television series in the making of the film, most notably the 'skroutlines', which was a seamless blend of a more traditional screenplay with a more simple outline which resembled strong short stories and gave the storyboard artists such as Maurice Fontenot, Abigail Nesbitt and Guy Moore all the creative and aesthetic freedom neccessary. Warburton and Willems themselves provided the film's animatics.
Famed comic book artists Tracy Yardley, Dev Madan and Ben Bates, and animation veterans Art Mawhinney, Aluir Amancio and Airon Barreto also provided the film's storyboards. Michel Gagné helped on the character designs and special effects work on the film. Another animation veteran Dan Haskett also worked with Tom Warburton on the character designs of the film.
The bulk of the animation work was done on Wacom Cintiq tablets, which allowed drawings to be done directly on screen to facilitate production using programs Toonz, DigiCel FlipBook and Toon Boom Studio. Pencilled key animation sequences would be digitally inked-and-painted, enhanced and composited into backgrounds using Toon Boom Harmony. Additional pre-production work was done at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California where the series' pilot episode was produced. Animation was done at Rough Draft's facilities on both Glendale and Seoul, with clean-up work done at the main Glendale studio. The final animation was also provided by Wang Film Productions in Taiwan and Thailand, A.Film in Copenhagen, Denmark, Studio SOI in Germany, James Baxter Animation in Pasadena, California, Mercury Filmworks and Yowza! Animation in Canada, Sunwoo Entertainment in both Seoul and Los Angeles, July Films in Los Angeles, Collingwood & Co. in London, England, Toon City Animation and Snipple Animation in Philippines, Stretch Films in New York City, Premise Entertainment in Orlando, Florida, Milimetros Dibujos Animados and SPA Animagic in Spain, Lightstar Studios in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Neomis Animation in Paris, France. Computer animation was produced by both Curious Pictures and Rough Draft Studios using Autodesk Maya, Weta Digital, Sparx* Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios' Renderman and Sony Pictures Imageworks' Arnold. Industrial Light & Magic also played a role in the stereoscopic 3D conversion.
=== Sound and music ===
Brian Tyler composed the soundtrack for the film with Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe serving as the soundtrack producers. In addition to using the original series' music work from Thomas Chase and Steve Rucker on the film, he also composed themes for each KND operative. Numbuh 1's action score was the major focus and he also composed themes for Numbuh's 2, 3, 4, 5, 86 and 362, and Cree Lincoln. The music score was recorded at Warner Bros. soundstages in Burbank and mixed at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood and Remote Control Productions in Santa Monica.
The sound design work was done at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, California and Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California.
The Music from the film is also recorded at Abbey Road Studios and Air Lyndhurst Studios in London.
