LazyTown (Latibr 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 titled fram Latibr! and was created by Magns 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.
