The Candy Factory is a place where all Zoobles are born. Beyond that factory, is a world called Candy Land where all Zoobles live. The story revolves around the three main Zoobles: Chevy, a Cat Zooble with an Orange Flavor, Coron, a Rabbit Zooble with a Strawberry Milk Flavor and Panky, a Panda Zooble with a Blueberry Yogurt Flavor. The three of them live in Candy Land, living and playing together with their friends and getting in serious misadventures as they learn to solve each problem they face. With each problem they face, the three ask for Kumanpa's advice for their solutions on them and their friends' problems, but with mixed results.
Development of the anime began after the toys were released in Japan and Korea. The series itself is based on the Sega Toys adaptation of the toyline in both Japan and Korea, which differs greatly from the American version by Spin Master. Sega Toys approached Korea's Dong Woo Animation to help them make an anime series based on the toys. In turn, Dong Woo Animation and Sega assembled a group of animation staff and crew for said project. The people involved include Tetsuo Yasumi, the head writer of the anime adaptation of Happy Happy Clover, Mitsuko Ohya, director of Duel Masters in charge of production while the character designs were done by Nam Jong-Sik of Animal Yokochō and Kazuya Hayashi of Happy Happy Clover. Korean pop groupRainbow also contributed to the anime's production as they sang both the opening and ending themes. The series began airing on the Korean broadcasting station Seoul Broadcasting System on May 18, 2011 and ended on November 23, 2011. Reruns were done by SBS from November 23, 2011 to May 16, 2012, all aired in high definition.

After the series' release in Korea, it was later dubbed Japanese and 4 episodes were shown on the Japanese website for promoting the toys in Japan.
