LazyTown (Latibær in Icelandic) is an English-language Icelandic children's educational musical comedy program made by an international crew and performed by a cast from Iceland, the United States and the United Kingdom. It is based upon a children's book from 1991[1] titled Áfram Latibær! and was created by Magnús Scheving, an aerobics champion who also plays the character Sportacus.

The series was commissioned by Nickelodeon in 2003, following the production of two stage plays and a test pilot. Originally performed in American English, the show has been dubbed into more than thirty languages (including Icelandic) and aired in over 180 countries. The show combines live-action, puppetry and CGI animation.[2]

Fifty-two episodes were produced from 2004 to 2007, for the first and second seasons. It originally aired on Viacom's Nickelodeon channel in the United States and internationally. Turner Broadcasting System Europe acquired LazyTown Entertainment in 2011[3] and commissioned third and fourth seasons[4][5] for a total of 26 new episodes, which premiered in 2013 on Turner's Cartoonito and later on Viacom's Channel 5.

Multiple spin-off projects were created, including stage productions and a short-format television program for younger children titled LazyTown Extra.

Plot

The series focuses on 8-year-old Stephanie, the newest resident of the LazyTown community. She has moved to LazyTown to live with her uncle, Mayor Meanswell, and is surprised to learn that all of her neighbors lead inactive lifestyles. With the help of an above-average superhero named Sportacus, she helps teach the other residents how to partake in more athletic pastimes. Her attempts are often nearly thwarted by Robbie Rotten, who prefers to lead a sluggish life and is agitated by the sudden boom of physical activity. On a regular basis, Robbie devises ill-judged schemes to make LazyTown lazy once again. However, his plans are never foolproof and always end with him losing.

Each of the children that Stephanie befriends embodies negative characteristics. Ziggy, who is kindhearted and wants to be a superhero when he grows up, has an unbalanced diet devoid of fruits and vegetables. Trixie is a troublemaker with little respect for rules and other people. Pixel is an inventor who displays anti-social behavior and spends too much time on his computer. Stingy has a self-centered attitude and is possessive of nearly everything in town. As the series progresses, the characters become less lazy in favor of a healthier way of living.

The program features a predominantly Europop soundtrack.[1] Each episode features at least one original song and concludes with a different performance of "Bing Bang," which is sung by Stephanie. Many tracks are reworked versions of songs from the Icelandic plays.

Episodes

Fifty-two episodes were produced for the first two seasons of LazyTown between 2004 and 2007. The final two seasons, consisting of thirteen episodes each, aired from 2013 to 2014.

Characters

Main

  • Stephanie (played by Julianna Rose Mauriello/Chloe Lang) is the enthusiastic and sweet newcomer to town. She lives in a yellow house with Mayor Meanswell, her uncle. Recognizable by her all-pink outfit, Stephanie is initially disappointed by Ziggy, Stingy, Trixie and Pixel, her friends' laziness and coaxes them to partake in healthier activities. Her attempts are often nearly thwarted by Robbie Rotten, but Stephanie is eternally optimistic and always manages to triumph over any challenges in the end.
  • Sportacus (played by Magnús Scheving) is the local superhero. He resides in a futuristic blue airship above LazyTown and is alerted to impending people who need help by a beeping crystal that glows on the chest of his costume. Understanding, humble, courageous, and helpful, he is devoted to exercise and has a rivalry with Robbie Rotten (though he always helps Robbie when he gets into trouble). Sportacus lives on a diet of fruit and vegetables, which he refers to as "sports candy". Eating junk food makes him immediately lose all his strength and abilities, which can only be restored by eating healthier options.
  • Robbie Rotten (played by Stefán Karl Stefánsson) is the main villain who continuously formulates feckless schemes in which he masquerades in a disguise to trick the kids, or create inventions to ruin their fun and discourage their newly-active lifestyles. He passionately abhors the influence of Stephanie and Sportacus on the townspeople and a number of his plans involve attempting to do away with them. Ironically, Robbie places so much effort into his schemes that he becomes one of LazyTown's most active citizens.
  • Ziggy (played by Guðmundur Þór Kárason) is the youngest resident, who is usually clad in a superhero suit with a cape. He loves to eat candy and sweets—particularly lollipops and taffy. After Stephanie came along, he discovered that there is more to childhood than sugary treats. He is now active and participates in any sport the gang plays, but still enjoys candy in moderation. Ziggy is an unsophisticated character who possesses naivety and gullibility. He is also obsessed with Sportacus and idolizes him.
  • Pixel (played by Ronald Binion/Julie Westwood and voiced by Kobie Powell/Ronald Binion) is an inventor who is passionate about computers and technology. He fixes up all sorts of gadgets to avoid doing physical activities himself. Pixel is not very sociable due to the large amount of time he spends alone, usually playing video games on his computers. He has a crush on Stephanie and finds it difficult to talk to her in early episodes.[7][8] His house often serves as a meeting spot for the rest of the kids, since it is spacious and contains a television.
  • Trixie (played by Sarah Burgess/Aymee Garcia) is a mischievous girl who likes jokes and playing pranks. She tends to make sarcastic remarks about her friends. She refers to Stephanie as "Pinky" (due to her pink hair and outfit) when trying to get her attention. In the theme song, Trixie loves to draw moustaches over the Meanswell's posters. Trixie represents impatience and a lack of respect for rules.
  • Stingy (played by Lewis Wright) is a selfish, posh, and covetous boy who wears a yellow sweater vest and a polka-dotted bow tie. In seasons 2-4, he wears rectangular glasses that he needs for reading. He owns a yellow 1978 Mini Cooper and frequently mentions his unseen father, who is supposedly the wealthiest man in town. Stingy tends to be snide and churlish. He represents possessiveness and a self-centered attitude.
  • Mayor Milford Meanswell (played by David Matthew Feldman) is a nervous wreck who has a crush on Miss Busybody. He loves his niece Stephanie very much and calls Sportacus to help if she feels sad or is in trouble. He is known for saying "Oh my!" whenever anything is wrong. The mayor is old-fashioned and often perplexed by modern technological terms.
  • Bessie Busybody (played by Julie Westwood) is an adult resident and Mayor Milford's girlfriend. Although patronizing, she tries her best to be motherly with the children. She is aware of every new trend and is pompous but fashionable. She likes to talk on her cell phone and is sometimes so engaged in a phone call that she is oblivious to the events occurring around her.

Recurring

  • Piggy is Stingy's piggy bank pet, which he treats as if it were a person and often pretends it is alive. He considers Piggy his best friend.
  • Jives is a skinny and tall teenage boy who lives alone in his personal house, matching his physical appearance being tall and thin with a green roof and yellow body, that appears to be bending over. He wears a green cap and a yellow sweatshirt. Jives is only physically seen in the Icelandic plays, but his home remains in the TV series. He also makes several cameos on cards and books.
  • The rooster is a symbol of LazyTown, appearing on the town seal and on the papers in Mayor Meanswell's filing cabinets. His crowing can be heard during scenes set in the early morning. In the second play, the rooster was an anthropomorphic character who acted as a narrator.
  • The cat is a small black and white kitten who appears three times in Season 1. The kitten has a propensity for climbing trees and often needs Sportacus to rescue him.

History and production

LazyTown began as a storybook published in 1991 titled Áfram Latibær! ("Go Go LazyTown!").[1] In 1996, a stage adaptation of the book toured Iceland. It featured Stephanie as an out-of-shape dancer and Sportacus as an energetic elf. The puppet characters seen in the television series also appeared in human form, but Robbie Rotten did not yet exist. A second stage show titled Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ ("Robbie Rotten in LazyTown") debuted in 1999. It introduced Stefán Karl Stefánsson as Robbie and featured more finalized versions of the other characters. Nickelodeon Australia reported that by the time the second play finished touring, LazyTown had become a household name in Iceland.[9] A variety of tie-in products and media were created in the country before Scheving decided to develop LazyTown into a television program; these included bottled water, toy figures, and a radio station.[10]

In most episodes, the only characters played by live actors are Stephanie, Sportacus, and Robbie Rotten. The rest of the characters are depicted as puppets, made by the Neal Scanlan Studio and Wit Puppets. The show was filmed and produced at 380 Studios, a purpose-built studio near Reykjavík equipped with high-end HDTV production facilities and one of the largest green screens in the world. The production floor area is 1,800 square meters.[11][12] The budget for each episode was approximately ISK 70,000,000 (US$1 million), about five times the average cost for a children's television program at the time, making it "the most expensive children's show in the world" according to Scheving.[13][14]

Its virtual sets were generated with an Unreal Engine 3-based framework, created by Raymond P. Le Gué and known as XRGen4. According to Le Gué, "We start with the live actors and puppets on a physical set with a green screen behind them as a backdrop. The green screen is replaced in real time with the sets created in XRGen4 using UE3. As we move the camera and actors around the physical set, the backdrop scene also moves in real time in complete synchronization with the movements of the real camera. All of this is recorded, and the director can watch the resulting composition in real time."[15] Seasons 3 and 4 of LazyTown were filmed as usual in the LazyTown Studios in Iceland, but the special effects were created this time round by Turner Studios in Atlanta.[16]

Pop culture

In 2007, the song "You Are a Pirate" from the first season "Rottenbeard" became an internet meme. In 2011, the song would be covered by the pirate metal band Alestorm in their album Back Through Time. The song "We Are Number One" was named "Dank Meme of the Year" in 2016 on the Reddit subreddit /r/dankmemes, a popular subreddit for memes.[17] The Robbie Rotten memes began in October that year when Stefán Karl Stefánsson, the actor who plays Robbie Rotten, announced that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was going to have surgery.

A GoFundMe page was established by LazyTown head writer Mark Valenti to help the actor as he endured his illness. "We Are Number One" and many other LazyTown videos were used by meme fans as a way to promote the fundraising effort, which eventually surpassed its $100,000 goal. The campaign was popularized by the YouTube channel SiIvaGunner uploading a "We Are Number One" video.[18][19] To thank his supporters, Stefánsson celebrated by uploading a video of that song performed with his former cast members and LazyTown's composer.[20] On August 13, 2017, Stefánsson was declared cancer free after a successful surgery,[21] however, he died on August 21, 2018 after his cancer recurred.[22]

Broadcast

In the United States, the show debuted on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr. block on 16 August 2004.[23] The second season debuted in the United States on Nick Jr. in 2006.[24][25] It also aired in the United States on CBS as part of the Nickelodeon on CBS Saturday morning block from 18 September 2004 to 9 September 2006. The series would continue to air daily on the Nick Jr. channel until 17 July 2010.[26] On 19 April 2011, Sprout acquired the US TV rights to LazyTown and started airing the series on 5 September 2011.[27] It aired daily on the channel until 2 October 2016.

The series has been broadcast on a variety of networks internationally, many of which belong to Viacom Media Networks. Nickelodeon Southeast Asia has carried the program in eleven territories.[28] In Australia and New Zealand, it is shown on Nickelodeon Australia.[9] In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it was aired on Nick Jr. UK, Noggin, and CBeebies.[29][30] The series arrived in the UK in September 2005, making a simultaneous debut on both Nickelodeon and CBeebies. CBeebies only aired the first two series, with the channel stopping repeats in early 2012.[31][32] After the series was revived for seasons three and four, Turner's Cartoonito in the UK and Ireland premiered episodes from 2013–2014. Boomerang, another Turner channel also air seasons three and four and continue to do so as of August 2018. Viacom's Channel 5 also aired the newer episodes as part of its Milkshake! block until 2016.[33][34] Channel 5's Demand 5 service carried episodes of the British version in 2015.[35]

In 2008, a Spanish-dubbed version of LazyTown debuted on V-me, a television network created for the Hispanic market in the US.[36] NBC began airing it every Saturday on 7 July 2012, as part of the new Saturday morning NBC Kids pre-school block until early 2016. The Spanish-dubbed version also airs on Telemundo (a sister station to NBC) as part of the new weekend pre-school morning block MiTelemundo.

In Brazil, the program was first broadcast on SBT, with subsequent airings on Discovery Kids, Jetix, Boomerang and Cartoon Network.

A Serbian-dubbed version called Lenji Grad was broadcast in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro on Ultra TV and several other networks.

A Croatian-dubbed version called Lijeni Grad was broadcast in Croatia on HRT 2.

The series has been dubbed into thirty-two languages.

Reception

Ratings

The week of LazyTown's debut on Nickelodeon in the United States was the channel's highest-rated premiere week in three years.[37] A broadcast of the hour-long primetime episode "LazyTown's New Superhero" in August 2005 drew three million total viewers, ranking number-one in its time period among all broadcast and cable television with the 2–5, 2–11, and 6–11 demographics.[38] The episode garnered double-digit increases over the last Nick Jr. primetime special to air before it, which was an episode of the network's then-highest-rated series Dora the Explorer.[38]

Critical reception

While early reception was mixed, it would receive critical acclaim in later years. The Hollywood Reporter's Marilyn Moss praised the show’s intentions to encourage exercise, calling it "great fun for the very young set, not to mention educational, maybe even life-changing."[39] Justin New of The Washington Times called LazyTown "a great show" and stated that he admired the Sportacus character.[40] Common Sense Media's Joly Herman gave the show a more mixed review, stating that the characters' healthy choices are "sometimes lost in the show's chaotic nature."[41] Pete Vonder Haar of the Houston Press called LazyTown "pretty much the creepiest show on TV since Twin Peaks," citing the "off-putting" mix of live-action and puppetry.[42]

The program has been noted for its appeal towards multiple age groups. In 2005, The Boston Globe stated that the program "has sparked a cult of healthy living among a certain preschool set [and] has a grown-up following, too."[43] Lynne Heffley of the Los Angeles Times stated that LazyTown "has zany appeal, even to viewers who are no longer 'junior.'"[44]

Promotional events

The 2007–08 LazyTown Live show at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham

From June to August 2005, LazyTown's Stephanie hosted the "Nick Jr. Power Play Summer" event, which involved a series of television spots that replaced the channel's standard on-air continuity. Similarly to the live performances and the program itself, this campaign was an experiment designed by the network to increase awareness of exercise and nutrition in its preschool audience.[56]

Nickelodeon produced a stage show titled LazyTown Live! in 2005. It debuted at Nickelodeon Suites Resort on 6 August.[57] A modified version toured the United Kingdom and Ireland between October 2007 and August 2008. It introduced a new cast to the United Kingdom, including Julian Essex-Spurrier as Sportacus.[13][58][59]

A Spanish-speaking version of the live show premiered in Mexico in 2008, followed by Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama. As of 2009 it was scheduled to tour the United States in 2010.[60][61]

From 28 January to 29 November 2009, a live stage production entitled LazyTown Live! The Pirate Adventure toured the United Kingdom and Ireland. It featured characters and songs from LazyTown, performed by a new cast.[62][63]

New productions of LazyTown Live had their premieres in November 2009 in Portugal and in March 2010 in Spain by producers Lemon Entertainment.

A live show LazyTown in Schools premièred in Australia in 2012, touring schools to promote healthy eating and fitness for children.[64]

Merchandise

In February 2005, Nickelodeon unveiled a collection of LazyTown products at the American International Toy Fair. Fisher-Price partnered with Viacom's consumer product division to produce the merchandise, all of which was designed to encourage physical activity.[37]
