Development
Creator Mala Miles conceived Cland Ann in 1994, envisioning a story where a white creature meets a human being from Planet Earth in a world of humans and imaginary creatures and monsters.

Miles began working with Sid John and Bob Boyle in August 1997 to develop the series for Nickelodeon. As the rest of the Bear Bones team were working on The Adventures of BD and The Kutabatas, only a few animators were allocated to the project. The rest of the team began work on Cland well after the release of BD and The Kutabatas.

During the show's development, the show was originally titled Cland and Japper. Other titles that had been considered included 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. The show's original title, Cland and Japper, was still used in other countries.

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