Section23 Films describes the film:

Why did Takagi decide to start teasing Nishikata? Why did it take so long for him to realize that he liked her not-so-subtle attentions? It's hard to say, but it's clear that they were dancing around each other for quite a while before they could admit how they really felt. And now they're taking care of a little one together! Okay, it's a kitten, and it's just until they can find its mother, but it's still a lot of responsibility. It's also one more way to learn about each other as they approach the end of their last summer in junior high. And yes, there'll be more than just teasing... Whether it's just catching fireflies or going to big festivals, it's going to be a summer to remember in TEASING MASTER TAKAGI-SAN: THE MOVIE!

The main staff from the anime's third season returned for the film. Hiroaki Akagi directed the film at Shinei Animation, while Hiroko Fukuda was credited for composition, as well as penning the script alongside fellow third season scriptwriters Aki Itami and Kanichi Katou. Aya Takano once again designed the characters. Hiroaki Tsutsumi returned from previous seasons to compose the music.
