LazyTown
LazyTown is a children's TV show which airs on Nick Jr, as well as other television networks geared towards children. It was created by Magnús Scheving, an aerobics champion and CEO of LazyTown Entertainment, who also stars in the show. LazyTown features a cast and crew from both the United States and from Iceland (where it is known as Latibær). The main character is Stephanie, who arrives in town and urges her new friends Ziggy, Trixie, Stingy and Pixel to go outside and be active instead of staying inside and playing video games. Her uncle, Mayor Milford Meanswell, enlists the help of superhero Sportacus (a parody of Sparticus, played by Magnús Scheving) to help the kids play outside. However, this does not sit well with Robbie Rotten, a Grinch-like character who lives underground and prefers not to hear the children playing above. Many of the episodes involve Robbie Rotten trying to ruin the kids' fun so that he can get peace and quiet. LazyTown is part live action and part animation. Stephanie, Sportacus and Robbie Rotten are the only "humans" on the show. The rest of the characters are depicted as puppets, which are animated using a combination of CGI and animatronics. The show's animation is a joint effort by The Jim Henson Company, The Creature Shop and the Neal Scanlan Studio.
