Production

Karim, Muhammad Anas Abdul Aziz and Kee Yong Pin). The four were originally employed by Les' Copaque Production, a company first founded by Nizam and Safwan, and is famous for the animation series Upin & Ipin and film Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula, directed by Nizam. Animonsta operates in MAC3, Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) content developer incubation facility located in Cyberjaya.

The original concept of BoBoiBoy story centers around an coffee-addict alien named Adu du that has made his way to Earth. A minor change was made later, where instead of coffee, the alien is now in search of cocoa. The change, according to BoBoiBoy Facebook fan page was due to the fact that coffee is a bitter-tasting drink, and does not appeal well to children..

The series was released simultaneously in two languages, namely Bahasa Malaysia and English for the local international market, respectively. Both versions fully utilizes the the same voice actors. In the Bahasa Malaysia version, the original voice actor for Upin & Ipin, Nur Fathiah Diaz, was invited to voice the main character, BoBoiBoy.
