 * For the title character, see Cland Ann (character).

Cland Ann, also known as Cland and Japper internationally, is an American animated fantasy sitcom created by Mala Miles for the Nickelodeon cable television network. The series sets in a world of creatures with humans called Cremos, and follows of a teenage boy named Cland Ann who teams up with a small white human named Japper McJapps to solve numerous problems, hang out with their other friends and stop villains from invading their home.

Originally developed for various other cable networks, it was instead aired in the United States on Nickelodeon on March 30, 2001, to May 10, 2014, before ceasing production. However, in June 2016, Miles stated that the series would possibly be revived for streaming services. In May 2018, it was announced that the series would be revived for a fourteenth and fifteenth season, on Hulu.

Development
Creator Mala Miles came up with the concept for Cland Ann in 1994, envisioning a story where a white creature meets a real human from the real Planet Earth in a world of humans and imaginary creatures and monsters.

Miles began working with Michael Wildshill in August 1997 to develop the idea and bring the show to Nickelodeon. As the rest of the Bear Bones team were working on The Adventures of BD, only a few animators were allocated to the project. The rest of the team began work on Cland as well after the release of BD.

During the show's development, the show was originally called Cland and Japper. Other titles that had been considered include, among others A Boy and His White Fellow, Two Abnormal Bros., and Humans and Creatures. On November 20, 1999, it was revealed that the show's title was changed to Cland Ann, thus making the main protagonist as the titular character of the show. The show's original title, Cland and Japper, is still used in other countries.

Cland Ann was first previewed on March 30, 2001, with the series premiering in September of that year.

On May 10, 2004, Nickelodeon cancelled the series, due to Miles wanting to continue working on post-production for Dot Box 3. In June 2016, Miles stated that the series would be revived, based on "what Nickelodeon thinks". On July 5, 2016, he announced that the series would possibly be revived after Cland Ann: Silo Wilo Strikes Back, released in February 2017.

In late 2017, Nickelodeon was in talks with Miles for a fourth season which will contain 26 episodes, which would premiere on Hulu apposed to Nickelodeon. In May 2018, it was announced that the fourth season would premiere in August. Similarly, an email sent to fans from Miles and Carpenter reported that Marsden, Casella, Hayden, Gough, Cummings, MacNeille, Harnell, Walch, LaMarche, Welker and Miles would all be returning for the revival. It was also confirmed that Jon Mack would also return to reprise her role as Jordan Robertson.
