The Oogieloves came about after Viselman saw Creator/TylerPerry's ''Film/MadeaGoesToJail'' and observed the audience shouting advice to the characters. He figured he could work backwards from that idea by making an interactive aspect with a children's movie around it, with auditory and visual cues telling kids when to sing, dance, and respond to the on-screen action, as well as when to sit down.
