A year and a half was spent to create 52 episodes for the first season of the 2007 revival series. It starts with the writing where the scripts were written in the United Kingdom and it usually takes four to five weeks to get each script done. Then, it is followed by three weeks of story-boarding before finally having five to six weeks to animate the characters and scenes for all the episodes.
Due to the dubious nutritional value, Dougal's diet of eating sugar was removed in the 2007 revival series and instead has him eating pies or chewing bones.
