(2008; 10 x 3' broadcast; 5 x 10' VOD)

Meet the Pajanimals - four soft cuddly lovies who snuggle together every night to sing sweet night time songs to their preschool friends at home.

There's Sweetpea Sue, a shy, smart pony who never forgets to wash up before bedtime. And Squacky, an excitable duck who sometimes has a hard time settling down at night. There's Cow Bella, a creative, well mannered cow with an Italian accent "Ciao Bella". And Apollo, an upbeat, optimistic pup who loves space adventures but has a slight case of separation anxiety.

This original, short-form musical series is both entertaining and educational as it helps comfort preschool viewers with bedtime themes and transitional issues such as separating from mom at the end of the day, healthy routines, sleeping through the night and being comfortable with the lights out. The Pajanimals bedtime antics will touch a chord with parents and children alike who will relate to the night time songs they sing. VOD segments include interviews with experts who address common sleep issues for preschoolers and provide solutions for providing a preschooler with a smooth transition from day to night.

Pajanimals is a new short form series produced by The Jim Henson Company and 4Kids Entertainment exclusively for Sprout.
