''Justin Time'' is a Canadian animated television series for pre-school aged children, created by Brandon James Scott. The show was developed for television and executive produced by Frank Falcone and Mary Bredin. Justin Time airs on Family Jr. (both English and French) in Canada, the Sprout channel in the United States, Tiny Pop in the United Kingdom, and Kids Talk Talk Plus in South Korea. The show revolves around the adventures of Justin. In every episode, Justin encounters a real-world problem of everyday childhood (such as sharing, teamwork, or paying attention). Then Justin and his shape-shifting sidekick Squidgy solve the problems by tackling them in imaginary adventures through time and around the world. In every adventure, Justin and Squidgy meet their best friend Olive, who always lives in the place and time they are visiting, and who usually needs their help to accomplish a task. Together, the three of them encounter the same problem that Justin faces in the real world, and together they solve the problem before Justin's parents call him back to the real world. In the original concept, Justin travelled via a time machine, which led to the title "Justin Time".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://blog.brandonjamesscott.com/post/19919448822/creatingjt-02-earlydev#fn:p19919448822-1 )〕 Because the concept of "the past" is challenging for pre-schoolers, the show instead focuses on more developmentally appropriate adventures of make-believe. It is noticed that the Canadian flag is blue and white instead of its official red and white in the theme song. However, this simply goes along with the color theme of the rest of the theme song. In November 2014 it was announced that Netflix and Disney Junior Canada commissioned a new order of Justin Time episodes. The thirteen half-hour episodes will be released in spring 2016. Justin Time was nominated for a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Pre-School Animated Program,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.emmyonline.org/mediacenter/daytime_40th_nominations.html )〕 and for a 2013 Annie Award for Best Animated Television Production For Preschool Children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://annieawards.org/nominees/#5 )〕 == Characters == * Justin: The main character, at six and a half years of age. He’s curious, imaginative, happy and overall a generally positive little guy. He likes to jump feet-first into the action, and he’s always on the go! Justin is the leader of the team and he likes to take charge, even if he isn’t always sure he is going in the right direction! He is an "action boy" and never hesitates to dive into an adventure. Justin learns about the world by scraping his knees and banging his shins. But he’s not thoughtless, and he looks after his friends Olive and Squidgy, he’s empathetic and has the ability to learn from his own mistakes and from the mistakes of others. * Olive: is the character who stands for FRIENDSHIP in the Justin Time series. She lives in all the places that Justin and Squidgy visit and is the friend they meet as each adventure begins. She has Brunette Black Hair. Her hairstyle and outfit always change to match the adventure. It is usually through Olive's job that the trio encounters the problem that needs to be solved. * Squidgy: is a big source of FUN and comedy in Justin Time. He is described as "a tub of Kooky Clay come to life".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://blog.brandonjamesscott.com/post/19919448822/creatingjt-02-earlydev#fn:p19919448822-1 )〕 Squidgy tends to want to befriend everyone and everything – from great furry mammoths to teeny bunnies to gangly pirates. He can speak to all animals except snakes – he’s terrified of snakes! 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Justin Time (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
