Synopsis

It seems that nobody is playing outside in LazyTown. Stephanie wants to play soccer but Pixel just wants to play a new soccer game on his computer and Ziggy wants to take a nice after-breakfast nap so he'll be ready for lunch. Mayor Meanswell sends a message to Sportacus and sets up this year's Sportacular Spectacle Day. Sportacus decides to perform a great soccer trick, but Robbie plans to ruin it all. He dresses up as a traveling salesman, messes up Sportacus's shoes and then tricks him into wearing radio-controlled boots.

Production notes

Included the song "There's Always A Way".

Live action combined with puppetry and CGI animation. The budget for each episode was approximately ISK 70,000,000 (1 million US dollars), or 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".

The four main characters are live action, and rest of the characters are hand puppets.
