"Ripoff" seems harsh. Vivziepop was always influenced by CDD, that is true (her early animations even lifted some of its choreography, which is the closest to 'ripping off' the movie there is, probably) and a lot of the Lackadaisy cartoon crew is too, although Tracy herself said in a tumblr Q&A that her comic was not very influenced by it at all. It was a very distinctive stylized movie and a lot of people grew up with it, makes sense that bits and pieces of influence would pop up in people's animations and pilots.
