We're Lalaloopsy |
Lalaloopsy is an animated children's television series based on the dolls of the same name from MGA Entertainment. It was produced by MGA and MoonScoop Entertainment. The series first aired on March 29, 2013.[1]
Chinook Animation made and recorded the series' voice production in Calgary, AB, Canada. After the first few episodes were aired on Nickelodeon, it was moved to the Nick Jr. Channel. The show's last episode aired on September 14, 2015.
In December 2015, Viacom filed a lawsuit against MGA, stating that the toy company did not provide proper financing for the advertisement and production of the series. In September 2016, a judge awarded Viacom damages of over $14.9 million relating to the show.[2] It was pulled from the lineup less than a month later, while all traces of the show were also removed from Nick Jr.'s website at the same time.
Plot
[edit]Lalaloopsy focuses on Lalaloopsy Land. Lalaloopsy Land is inhabited by colorful rag dolls, who came to life the moment their last stitch was sewn. Each episode focuses on one or two groups of them facing a problem of their own and either solving it on their own or with incidental or previously planned help from the other group of dolls seen in the episode.
