Production

BoBoiBoy is the first product of Animonsta Studios Sdn. Bhd., an animation company established by Nizam Razak with three other partners: Safwan Abdul Karim, Anas Abdul Aziz, and Kee Yong Pin.[2][3]

The original concept of the story centres on a coffee-addict alien named Adu Du who has made his way to Earth.[4] A minor change was made later, where instead of coffee, the alien is now in search of cocoa.[5] The change, according to its Facebook fan page, was due to the fact that coffee is a bitter-tasting drink, and does not appeal to children.[6]

The series was released simultaneously in two languages: Malay version and the English version, for the local and international market respectively. Both versions fully utilise different voice actors. In the Malay version, the original voice actor for Upin & Ipin, Nur Fathiah Diaz, was chosen to voice the main character, BoBoiBoy.[7] The series ended after three seasons and was taken up by its sequel, BoBoiBoy Galaxy, starting on 25 November 2016.
