The Pajanimals: Difference between revisions

'''[[The Pajanimals']]'' is a preschool children's series made by [[Jim Henson]] Television Productions and featuring [[Muppet]] characters. Made for and aired in ''The Goodnight Show'' block on [[PBS Kids]] Sprout in the United States, the series was originated as a set of approximately two minute shorts featuring songs focused on issues related to bedtime, such as being afraid of the dark, having a scary dream, or waking up at night. Based on the success of the original shorts, a full-length series was created and began airing in 2011. The new series features the same characters and basic style, but adds guest characters and an expanded focus. While beditme issues are still tackled, the series also addresses concerns of a more general nature to youngsters, such as fear of speaking in front of a class and concern about taking an extended trip away from home. The show was made in part with the help of Jill Spivack and Jennifer Waldburger, creators of a commercial product called ''The Sleepeasy Solution'', and the two serve as content consultants for the show and appear in parental guidance spots created for the program. The original shorts, along with the parental guidance spots, are available on DVD, but have not been shown on television since the full-length series began airing.
