Synopsis

Set in Table Town, an urbanized mountainous island co-habitated by animals and magical creatures, the series centers on the adventures of Kiff, a young, optimistic and happy-go lucky anthropomorphic squirrel whose best intentions often lead to complete chaos, and her best friend Barry, a sweet and mellow bunny as they take the island by storm with their endless adventures and zest for life with lessons about the importance of acceptance, friendship, selflessness, self-worth, responsibility, sincerity, notoriety, and maturity along the way.

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'. Conception for the series began in December 2017, and was eventually optioned by Disney five months later. On June 17, 2021, during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, it was announced that Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal were developing the series, entitled Kiff. According to the duo, the series is inspired by their experiences growing up in Cape Town, 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. 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". The series is produced by Disney Television Animation and Titmouse, Inc., with Kent Osborne serving as co-producer and story editor, and Winnie Chaffee producing. It consists of 22-minute episodes, composed of two 11-minute segments. Edward Mejia, a Disney executive, oversees the series.

On June 13, 2023, Disney Television Animation announced that the series was renewed for a second season.

Music

The series features one original musical number per episode.

Animation

In addition to co-producing, Titmouse, Inc. also provides the animation for the series (with its overseas animation being provided by Yearim).

Release

Kiff premiered simultaneously on Disney Channel and Disney XD on March 10, 2023, with the show's first six episodes releasing on Disney+ a day later. In June 2022, it was announced that the first season of the series would have 30 22-minute episodes.

Reception

Matthew Aguilar of ComicBook.com asserted, "Those who watch will soon find themselves transported to a delightful animated world full of hilarious scenarios that always find a way to also be relatable." Joel Keller of Decider wrote, "Kiff is lots of surreal fun, with a warm friendship at its center. Most of all, parents will enjoy it for its smart humor almost as much as their kids will enjoy the colors, sounds, and pratfalls." 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."
