Development
Adrian Hancock developed an idea for a project titled Jesse & Jonas in 2010; it originally centered on the titular protagonists being hip hop fans who are sent to rehabilitation in an orchestral camp run by a greedy counselor, after misbehaving at a party on the last day of school. In 2011, however, Hancock re-developed the film and its story under its expanded title Jesse & Jonas Go West!, focusing more on the characters' mission to protect film studios in California from unexpected bankruptcies.

The film was announced in December 2014, along with the beginning of its pre-production stage. However, it drew unexpected comparisons to Palm City, another animated film set in Los Angeles in the 1990s. However, Hancock stated that the premise of the film focused more on high school-aged slackers. He cited the Bill &amp; Ted duology to be the film's major influence, while also stating it would be similar to The Interview (2014), but a "much less violent (and much less offensive) version of it".
