{{InfoboxFound |image=Very important house.webp |imagecaption=Screenshot of the pilot. |status=<span style="color:green;">'''Found'''</span> |datefound=25 Apr 2024 |foundby=Anonymous }} In 2016, Jhonen Vasquez (creator of ''Invader Zim'') and Jenny Goldberg (character designer for ''Rick and Morty'') pitched a pilot titled '''''Very Important House''''' to Disney XD. In the pilot, an 12-year-old named Frolie moves into a very important house with her cat Grampa, and suddenly the two become the caretaker of the universe, tasked with having to help and solve very important things, like helping a purple acidic blob creature find a way to earn an entire town's trust; Because if a very important thing doesn't get solved, the whole universe will probably explode.<ref>[https://cartoonbrew.com/disney/disney-tv-inks-deals-with-aaron-springer-jhonen-vasquez-jesse-ledoux-and-ryan-quincy-101661.html Cartoon Brew article mentioning the pilot.] Retrieved 15 May '24</ref> ==Development== After both Vasquez and Goldberg finished working on their previous shows, they both worked together on the pilot for 4 years, to which they pitched it to Disney in 2016.
