          Re: LazyTown Curiosities

          Who is Rufus Scott Church anyway? He does not have an imdb page or a presence online. Besides LazyTown, he's only credited on a short video featuring Miss Piggy. A genuine curiosity. Could it possibly be a pseudonym?

            these detailed analysis's are awesome. Well done. These earlier episodes always are interesting to watch because they have a different feel to them and Stefan is still working on making his English clear....its sometimes hard to make out words he says.

              Agree with this … His hair is also different. Looks less plastic.

              You can tell this was the first episode they made (not including The Lazy Dance) because the production quality is way lower than what ended up becoming the standard. Just look at the clouds. They look like they were drawn in MS Paint.

                lol, I don't think I ever noticed them before, but they do seem rather cartoony in those screen shots.
                Getur einhver annar verið Glanni ? það bara passar ekki
                Stefan Karl Stefansson, það er enginn eins og þú!
