Production
Announced on September 9, 2012, Universal Studios had acquired the rights to produce an animated film, via Universal Animation Studios to make this, of the minigame Double Date from the 2011 video game Rhythm Heaven Fever by Nintendo SPD. However, no further updates were reported for the project until April 2016.

At first, at CinemaCon in April 2017, it was announced that changes at Universal resulted in the movie rights being reworked as a short film, which would be shown in front of Universal's Lix for a Christmas 2017 release.

The score was created by Mark Mothersbaugh, who also created the score for Paint World, Magina, Swapped, the Gabriel Garza reboot franchise, and Paradoria.

Double Date was released on Universal Animation Studios' official website and YouTube channel on November 15, 2017. It was theatrically released on December 8, 2017, together with Universal Animation's 22nd film Lix.
