LazyTown

Join super-fit superhero Sportacus as he demonstrates his amazing moves whilst battling the town's arch enemy.

LazyTown

The philosophy of LazyTown is to motivate children and inspire them to live a healthy life. Using humour, music, high-quality production and strong values, it enables children to make positive choices for their physical and social well being.

With its mixture of music, movement, humour and interactivity, LazyTown has the ability to draw kids into a slightly exaggerated version of their own world.

In this fresh, cartoon-coloured town, they can't help but engage in the imaginative stories, relate to the characters that make them laugh and be amazed by a sporty superhero with an amazing ability to make even ordinary things exciting.

In the show, Stephanie (an optimistic eight year old with bright pink hair) comes to LazyTown and meets its zany mix of townspeople, including the world's laziest super-villain, Robbie Rotten. Fortunately for Stephanie, LazyTown is also watched over by Sportacus, an athletic, super-fit superhero who runs, jumps and flips his way across LazyTown while helping the inhabitants battle Robbie's latest lazy schemes.

The educational value of the show

Lazy Town helps children to:

  • Live a healthy, active life.
  • Make positive choices for their physical and social well-being.
  • Be inspired to try out new sports and activities.

Read about the characters

Stephanie

Stephanie is new to LazyTown and has moved there to live with her uncle, Milford Meanswell, the town's mayor. Stephanie is the drive behind the adventures and the spark that brings change to LazyTown and all the children. She loves moving and music, dancing and doing new things.

Sportacus

Sportacus is the type of action hero that children dream of becoming - fit, agile, and lightning-fast. He owns a magical crystal that glows when the LazyTown kids get into trouble. It keeps him quite busy actually, so to be able to charge his batteries, he always goes to bed at 8:08. He's patient, kind, always understanding, and doesn't tell the kids in LazyTown what not to do. He prefers to lead by example. Sportacus inspires us to be the best we can.

Robbie Rotten

Robbie is LazyTown's resident villain, intent on keeping LazyTown lazy. Living down in his dark lair, he plots the downfall of Sportacus and Stephanie while gobbling junk food and lounging in his orange, fur-covered recliner. A master of disguise (albeit silly ones), he will hatch schemes that are as outlandish as they are humorous - failing every time, usually to his own ruin.
