Lunar Jim is a Canadian animated preschool stop-motion television show oriented around Lunar Jim who is an astronaut on the blue moon L22. It was produced in Canada by Halifax Film and Alliance Atlantis, and aired in the US as well on Discovery Channel and V-Me from 2006 to 2012. The show was based on an original concept created by Chris McKay and Alexander Bar.
Season One was executive produced by Jeff Rosen. It was script edited in this season by Peter Sauder. Season Two was penned by the award-winning veteran producer/writer Jed MacKay. Director Benny Zelkowicz provided the voice of Jim.
Jim and his team; Rover the Robot Dog, Ripple the Super Space Mechanic, Eco the Farmer, and TED, the Technical Equipment Device, live on Blue Moon L22, the second-to-last moon on the edge of the Milky Way. Focusing on exploration and inquiry, Lunar Jim intends to promote such life skills as problem-solving, persistence, creativity, and cooperation, with an emphasis on "pre-science skills". His rallying cry is "Let's get lunar!"
