Development []
The idea for Puppies in the Box began with Scott Young who envisioned the film as a "buddy" animated comedy. The film entered development in 2003, with Young as the film's directors with a tentative release scheduled for a summer 2007 release. Originally, the film was titled Mikey & Dave and had a completely different story. This version of the story had a relationship between a cat and a dog. However, when Alternate Reality was in production, JeremyWorks Studios CEO and Chairman Jeremy Carpenter decided that the project should focus on a relationship between a girl and a puppy rather than a cat and a dog.
In September 2006, the new film was announced as Puppies in the Box with its new story originally evolving Lauren Cannari as the lead role.
