LazyTown (Icelandic: Latibær) is an English-language Icelandic-British-American preschool children's educational television series. The show combines live action, puppetry and computer animation, making it one of the most expensive children's shows ever made. It was commissioned by Nickelodeon in early 2003, following the production of two stage plays and a test pilot. The first two series (fifty-two episodes) were produced from 2004 to 2007. Multiple spin-offs were created, including stage productions.
