An animatic pilot episode was produced prior to the series' greenlight and was later reworked into the episode "Hat".

The pilot was leaked online in April 2024, alongside other pilots and production pieces from Disney and Cartoon Network.^[13]

"Pilot"	Lucy Heavens, Nic Smal & Kent Osborne[b]	Nic Smal[c]
After a hat that Bunny Guinness brings to "Bring a Thing" proves popular (so much that everyone in the school tries to steal it), Donk tries to keep it safe so that Bunny can show everyone at an event later. A strong wind causes a series of misadventures for Donk in trying to retrieve it, including Helen, who wants the hat for herself. After accidentally shredding the hat, Donk pretends to be the hat, but realizes that everyone actually likes Bunny, not the hat.

The only way to stop them is to separate them, so Kiff and Barry recruit Helen to do so.

This becomes a problem when Barry keeps dropping his glasses of OJ and wasting the drink.

Reception

Critical response

Scott Tobias of The New York Times said that Kiff serves as a gateway to the gentle irreverence and surrealism found in animated favorites like Adventure Time and Phineas and Ferb. They described Kiff as a unique series that could appeal equally to parents and their young children.^[57] Joel Keller of Decider found Kiff to be a well-crafted buddy comedy. They noted that the humor in the series is character-driven and extends beyond typical children's comedy, while saying that the show also touches on relatable themes, such as Kiff's lack of understanding of family sharing. Keller appreciated the world-building in Kiff, and concluded that the series is enjoyable for both kids and parents, saying it offers surreal fun and smart humor that makes it a worthwhile watch.^[58]

Kristin Smith of Plugged In stated that Kiff effectively showcases themes of friendship, kindness, silliness, sacrifice, and love. They concluded that the series, while earning its rating for some angst and off-putting comments, is appreciated for its witty writing and ability to emphasize the value of childhood friendship.^[59] Tony Betti of LaughingPlace.com rated Kiff 4 out of 5 and asserted that it carries a nostalgic 90s tone, reminiscent of shows like Rocko’s Modern Life, with subversive humor that might go over the heads of younger viewers but resonate with adults. Betti found that the show’s bright, vivid visuals and simple shapes are eye-catching, while saying its witty storylines and relatable characters ensure lasting appeal. The inclusion of fictitious sponsors from Table Town during the title cards of each episode was also praised.^[60]

Tessa Smith of Mama's Geeky gave Kiff a score of four out of five and found it to be a good choice for a family-friendly show, delivering humor that resonates with both adults and children, praising the series for its fun, quirky style and distinctive animation.
