List of Episodes

The Unaired Pilot Episode is a colection of short clips filmed by the LazyTown crew after September 2003, as a test.

Production

The clips use a mix of live action scenes and storyboards. The role of Stephanie was played by Shelby Young and a few puppets were also featured. The pilot was made to pitch LazyTown as a TV show to Nick Jr, after Viacom had signed a deal with LazyTown Entertainment on September 3, 2003.

A Beautiful Day

Pixel and Ziggy are playing videogames, and then a girl named Stephanie invites them to go outside and play soccer.

Ziggy doesn't understand at first, but Stephanie insists, opens the window and tells Ziggy that it's a beautiful day. This scene was reused for Soccer Sucker.

Happy Birthday

Stephanie and Pixel visit Ziggy to commemorate his birthday. Ziggy receives a caramel as a present and a letter.

Sportacus arrives and gives a toothbrush as a present. Ziggy confuses the toothbrush with a caramel, and Pixel confuses it with a remote control. This scene was reused for Happy Brush Day.

One-on-One Robbie Rotten watches the kids playing soccer and has the idea for a plan. Sportacus asks Robbie to join his team, but he refuses the invitation.

Robbie challenges Sportacus for a soccer match. Sportacus accepts the challenge, and Robbie presents a machine to compete on the challenge. This scene was reused for Soccer Sucker.

Let's go!

When a robot attacks LazyTown, Stephanie needs Pixel's help to stop the robot.

Pixel tries to find a way to beat the robot by searching on the computer. Although the computer is not capable of finding any result, Pixel agrees to stop the robot himself. This scene was re-used for Soccer Sucker.

Sportacus

Sportacus performs a series of tricks and moves in his airship. This scene was re-used and re-lengthed for Dr. Rottenstein & Sports Candy Festival.

The Bing Bang Song

Stephanie sings "Bing Bang" and dances along with Pixel and Ziggy next to the Mayor's House.

Trivia

  • Though Trixie and Stingy weren't shown to have puppets in the pilot, they were shown to have had maquettes made of them as displayed on the old LazyTown website and in several old magazine clippings. Maquettes were also made of Milford and Bessie but never used.
  • While Magnús Scheving still played Sportacus in the pilot, his voice was dubbed over by Sam Vincent, It is unknown why, although some fans suspect it may be because Magnús wasn't as fluent in English at the time.
  • Ziggy looks completely different:
  • His head is smaller.
  • His hands are bigger.
  • He has indigo eyes, while in the other episodes he is blue.
  • His trunk and his belly are bigger than in future episodes.
