Production notes

3-D sequences.

Creator and executive producer Deborah M. Manchester says that the idea for the series began in January 1995, when she had foot surgery in Columbus, Ohio and her foot was hanging from a cast that she had to wear for almost six months. Manchester designed a woven cast cover and decorated it with alien creatures. She offered the covers to area hospitals, where the nurses and their young patients loved them. The cast covers turned into plush toys, which attracted producers interested in making a TV show.

Said Manchester: "The intention of the show is not to make scientists out of every kid who watches it. It's to revolutionize the way in which little kids are introduced to science." She added: "Even the Korean animators have told us, through their interpreters, that they have learned an incredible amount."
