The Magic Pajamas

Product Information

As to what made PJ Masks stand out as superheroes in a company that owns Marvel (home of arguably the most recognizable ones in the world), Ross admits there are a lot of superheroes in the Disney family, but none of them were made just for preschoolers. He says research conducted with parents and kids using the series’ pilot showed that parents, in particular, were looking for superheroes custom-made for preschoolers. By day, Yoyo, Bibou and Gluglu, all aged 6, go to school like all other children. But that's only the day. Because at night, they put on their magical pajamas created from their totem animals, the cat, the owl and the lizard and instead of going to bed, they turn into superheroes and become the Pyjamasques!

We made sure it was universal with strong story hooks and visuals, and that it could carry a licensing program,” he says. Kids like superheroes, so what could be better for tykes than becoming superheroes themselves? That's what happens at night for young friends Connor, Amaya and Greg. When they put on their pajamas and activate their animal amulets, they turn into their alter egos -- Catboy, Owlette and Gekko -- before embarking on adventures that are filled with action. Along the way, they solve mysteries and learn valuable lessons. The animated series is based on the "Les Pyjamasques" book series by French author Romuald Racioppo. Taking a warm bath one to two hours before sleep will artificially raise our body temperature, which will then drop slowly when we get out of the tub into a cooler environment. Noticed those post-bathtime yawns? That’s your body temperature drop signaling to your brain that it’s time to send us to sleep. But, if the bath is too hot, we stay hot and bothered for longer and the technique isn’t as effective. 5. Feed them to sleep. Here are some solidly researched tips based on the science of Chronobiology to help your child go to sleep and stay in the land of zzz: 1. Red = Sleepyhead, but Blue = Boo Hoo. Get the right night-light.Are YOU stressed? My kids once commented that they preferred Daddy to read their stories because “he doesn’t rush.” Broke my heart. They were able to feel my stress and anxiousness to move onto my relaxation time. It kept them awake. If a night-light helps your child, seek one out which exudes red light (under 100 lux). Manufacturers have been slow to catch on to this science fact, but red night lights do exist; I’ve bought a string of red LED lights for my daughter, which send out a super-cozy light. It’s a superhero show just for preschoolers,” he notes. “It’s safe, non-lethal and positive, but at the same time, it features real superheroes with cool costumes, gadgets and powers, delivered in an age-appropriate way—and it’s so different from what is on the network.” He adds that the protagonists’ pajamas, which transform into costumes, and the fact that much of the action takes place at in a nighttime dream space, made the project even more appealing.

In Korea, the series´s premeire started on Disney Channel Korea in September 2015, then Disney Junior adquired the series in December 2015.Disney EMEA’s VP of content, animation and digital, Orion Ross, says he was immediately attracted to the idea. My daughter has magic pajamas. If she wears a particular set of pajamas, she falls asleep at 7:30pm and sleeps past 5am. I know what you’re thinking, but it’s TRUE. For as long as I can remember, my 5 year-old daughter’s been refusing to go to sleep and stay asleep. She’s awake for hours, wanting me to sleep with her, hopping in and out of her bed, or appearing in ours. She then wakes up bright and sparky at 5am. Gosh, I’m tired, just so, so tired. I’m so tired that often I can’t even complete my senten… While the project was initially developed as a co-production between eOne, Disney EMEA and France Télévisions, Disney Junior US will debut the series September 18, before it rolls out to France 5 and other international territories this fall. So what is it about this show starring a cast of preschoolers who masquerade as superheroes by night that got global buy-in from the House of Mouse?

If we stay in constant light, our bodies, including our melatonin, show a natural 24-hourish rhythm. This rhythm isn’t around until 3 months old, so if your child is younger than that, their melatonin levels and natural rhythms will be all over the place. Sorry. It’s not until after around 4-5 months that their rhythms can become more solidly established and they’ll be able to do most of their sleeping at night. You can help encourage your kids into a 24 hour day/night cycle by having them nap in the light. This’ll keep their melatonin levels down during the day and encourage high levels when bedtime comes. The same applies to your kids no matter how old they are. Nap in the light. Sleep in the dark. 3. Yup, those pesky screens again! It is also noticeable in some production screenshots in the "TeamTO Telecommuting Tech Team" video reveals that the show is produced with Autodesk Maya. It was a clear call to action that was very consistent,” he says. “Parents got it and embraced it right away.” And costume designs were, in fact, re-worked to include more textures and gadgetry, like adding scales to Gekko’s outfit and feathers to Owlette’s ensemble.

Being able to create an environment that was very real to the audience, and well-executed with a cool look and feel that sits alongside Disney Junior’s other programs, was key,” she says. The odds of a preschool concept born from a series of French-language picture books landing a worldwide deal with a global broadcaster are not high. But that’s exactly what’s happened with new 52 x 11-minute CGI co-pro PJ Masks from eOne Family. Do you find your child wants to talk through their day when you’re just desperate to get them to sleep and escape to “Me Time?” Me too. I also thought that this was just a delay tactic by my child or simply separation anxiety around wanting to be with me. Turns out I was wrong (again)! When we’re tired, the emotional part of our brains, the amygdala gets more active. This makes it harder for us to think through problems and raises our anxiety levels.

Together, they form a formidable trio ready to complete all missions. Pyjamasques have a new challenge. The worries, they solve them at night! In France, it premeired on France 5 in December 2015. In 2019, Season 4 started airing on Disney Channel France.Even if your child is under 9 years-old, they could still be naturally inclined to fall asleep later. Only by watching and learning, can we discover what our child’s natural sleep cycle is. Are they over-tired in the day or just genuinely lively late at night or early in the morning? You could try waking them earlier and exposing them to bright light to try to shift their cycles earlier, or vice versa with light at night, but maybe it might be more sanity-preserving to work with rather than against their rhythms. Interestingly, Dumont adds that further testing showed parents were insistent the main characters’ costumes look like those of real superheroes, and not just slightly altered pajamas.
