The 150-episode show was head-written by Marc Seal (who worked on Bob the Builder), filmed by the Foundation in Glasgow[2] and animated and directed by Gallus Entertainment[citation needed].

The main characters are the four Piplings, 3D CGI animated creatures with large heads and eyes and possessing the ability to fly and float around.

They are made in Autodesk Maya, placed on a filmed background, with the second half of each twenty-minute show featuring human children (called the "Cheebies").

The leaflet produced by the BBC warns parents not to practise Yogo with their children if they are or have been ill, and always to speak to a GP before starting the program.

[citation needed] The Piplings also play Peeka, a hide and seek game, when the Cheebies (live action children) arrive at Nara.

The changes were said by the company as to be “constructed to work on multiple levels of humor in an effort to appeal to preschoolers and parents alike”.

In February 2010, DHX Media announced that Nelvana Enterprises would be the show's Canadian Home Video partner.
