Production

Development

In 2017, creators Nic Smal and Lucy Heavens first met each-other when they were animators for Triggerfish Animation Studios, as the duo claimed that they 'spoke the same comedy language'. [12] [13] Conception for the series began in December 2017, [13] and was eventually optioned by Disney five months later. [12] [14] On June 17, 2021, during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, it was announced that Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal were developing the series, originally entitled Donk (later entitled Kiff). [4] [5] According to the duo, the series is inspired by their experiences growing up in Cape Town, [4] while Heavens described it as a series "about a kid who lives with her parents and goes to school" whose comedy focuses on the world and characters featured. [1] Senior vice-president for Disney Channel's animation Meredith Roberts said, "Lucy and Nic are a brilliant creative team who produced a fresh and funny series with vibrant visuals that help bring the friendship between a squirrel and a bunny to life in a unique way". [4] The series is produced by Disney Television Animation and Titmouse, Inc., with Kent Osborne serving as co-producer and story editor, [4] [1] and Winnie Chaffee producing. [6] It consists of 22-minute episodes, composed of two 11-minute segments. [4] [5] Edward Mejia, a Disney executive, oversees the series. [15]

On June 13, 2023, Disney Television Animation announced that the series was renewed for a second season. [16] In June 2024, a third season was announced but officially confirmed by February 2025, ahead of the second season's premiere.

Reception

Critical response

Scott Tobias of The New York Times said that Kiff serves as a gateway to the gentle irreverence and surrealism found in animated favorites like Adventure Time and Phineas and Ferb . They described Kiff as a unique series that could appeal equally to parents and their young children. [22] Joel Keller of Decider found Kiff to be a well-crafted buddy comedy. They noted that the humor in the series is character-driven and extends beyond typical children's comedy, while saying that the show also touches on relatable themes, such as Kiff's lack of understanding of family sharing. Keller appreciated the world-building in Kiff, and concluded that the series is enjoyable for both kids and parents, saying it offers surreal fun and smart humor that makes it a worthwhile watch. [23]

Kristin Smith of Plugged In stated that Kiff effectively showcases themes of friendship, kindness, silliness, sacrifice, and love. They concluded that the series, while earning its rating for some angst and off-putting comments, is appreciated for its witty writing and ability to emphasize the value of childhood friendship. [24] Tony Betti of LaughingPlace.com rated Kiff 4 out of 5 and asserted that it carries a nostalgic 90s tone, reminiscent of shows like Rocko’s Modern Life , with subversive humor that might go over the heads of younger viewers but resonate with adults. Betti found that the show’s bright, vivid visuals and simple shapes are eye-catching, while saying its witty storylines and relatable characters ensure lasting appeal. The inclusion of fictitious sponsors from Table Town during the title cards of each episode was also praised. [25]

Tessa Smith of Mama's Geeky gave Kiff a score of four out of five and found it to be a good choice for a family-friendly show, delivering humor that resonates with both adults and children, praising the series for its fun, quirky style and distinctive animation. Smith asserted that while Kiff is less adult-oriented than Adventure Time and Regular Show , it still provides humor that entertains viewers of all ages, and also includes subtle life lessons about family, friendship, and honesty, integrated in a way that is not overly preachy. [26] Ashley Moulton of Common Sense Media gave the series a grade of four out of five stars, praised the depiction of positive messages and role models, citing the presence of characters demonstrating kindness, and said, "Quirky buddy comedy celebrates kid friendships".
