Production notes

A stop-motion animation series that transports young children into an exciting world of discovery, fun and adventure. Lunar Jim lives in Moona Luna- a place much like any other, but with one huge difference: it's on the moon.

Blue Moon L22, that is, second to last moon on the edge of the Milky Way- a place where the unexpected and fantastic can and does happen. Jim and his team's mission: to explore and settle this strange and wondrous new place. Focusing on the fun of exploration and inquiry, Lunar Jim promotes the active learning of such life skills as problem-solving, persistence, creativity and cooperation, with an inherent emphasis on "pre-science skills." Above all, Lunar Jim is about taking delight in discovery.

This action series doesn't take itself too seriously. Each fun-filled adventure incorporates humor, excitement and "lunar twists" as Jim and his fellow space explorers face each new challenge with Jim's rallying cry of "Let's get lunar!"

This TV series is scheduled to run for 52 episodes.
