## Production

Happy Fishies was an development as early as 2003. The project was in development heck until The people of Wonderbrain (who were busy on Yo Playtime Playtime!) heard about what was going on in 2008, then the show was ready by December 2010, when it was announced that it would come out 2011.

The show wrapped production in 2015 and ended 2016. Not because they were running out of songs for Polly to sing, but because the creators went to work on Ladybug Fairy Friends.

When Production went back on in 2019 (it was hinted because Donny was given a new voice actor), Ladybug Fairy Friends wrapped production after just 2 seasons and this was done without Wonderbrain’s involvement. Instead, Fun Filled Entertainment did the animation for the new season.

## Trivia

* They were gonna get kids to play the happy fishies, but none of them really impressed the judges.
	+ Annie is a bit younger then the Happy Fishies, So She isn’t one of them.
* During the long development, Polly made her debut on The Falidon Jr. Sharing Show. This show also confirmed once that Polly and Dil were just acting since in the end of one episode, instead of the usual credits, we see Polly and Dil and the rest of the gang leave the set.
