Production notes

Included the song "No One Is Lazy In Lazy Town".

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.
