GoGoRiki was one of the last few English dubs that 4Kids Entertainment did before filing for bankruptcy in 2012.

It was the first English adaptation of the hit Russian animated series Smeshariki.

When the show was discontinued on the block "CW4K!ds" after its 2nd season in 2009, 4Kids never issued any DVDs of the show despite the cult following the show had during its run.

During 4Kids's downward financial spiral since the dub's cancellation, GoGoRiki's rights reverted back to Kikoriki's rights holder, Riki Group.

Riki Group decided to do a new English dub (now with a new name "Kikoriki", which is being used to this very day) which launched on YouTube on March 31st, 2010.

Strangely enough, despite the show living on in CGI in Russia and other countries - Riki Group didn't dub the CGI-animated later seasons for the English-speaking audience.
