Confirmed by head writer and lyricist: More is in store for LazyTown (LazyPod on hold!)

Three days ago, I sent this message to Mark Valenti – lyricist for the first two seasons, writer for the first two and Extra, and owner of the LazyPod Podcast:

Hey Mark!

I just wanted to know..

  • If I have permission to use the Magnus Scheving interview in one of my videos (accompanying the interview with captions and photos/videos)
  • Your favourite episode/song you wrote
  • When the next LazyPod episode is coming out.

Toodles!

He only answered two questions, unfortunately, but the answers he gave me are pretty straight-forward and exciting.

You may use the interview. As for LazyPod, it is on hold for now because I’m in discussions with Magnus about next steps for LazyTown.

Wait! Read that last sentence.. Mark made new episodes of LazyPod at least twice every week for a while. For him to stop because he’s talking with Maggi must mean they’re doing something extremely big. Maybe not extreme, but good enough. What do you think it might be? I’m hoping they’re discussing DVD releases, or putting the show back on TV, or getting in contact with Mani for season four CD releases! Sportacus strikes again!!

The Big Æventyri í Latabæ Video (720p HD)

1996 came Afram Latibær (Let’s Go, LazyTown!). 1999 came Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ (Robbie Rotten Comes to LazyTown). 2010 came Latabæjarhátíð í Höllinni (LazyTown Festival in Hollinni). And 2014 came Æventyri í Latabæ (Adventures in LazyTown) – the fourth and final Latabæ play to date. It was the only one to not have a filmed DVD release (not even a crappy hand camera recording by someone who attended the show!!) and remains lost media to this day – except for a lot of photos, a news report, some trailers and posters, behind the scenes, and an original Mani Svavarrson / Magnus Scheving song from the play – ‘Dance, go dance!’ (Dansa, afram dansa)

Latibær: Sería 1 (720p HD, íslenska) – LazyTown in Icelandic

PrimarySince Icelandic aerobics champion made Magnus Scheving made LazyTown (Latibær)  in Iceland in 2004, there of course had to be an Icelandic dubbed version to market to Icelandic speaking audiences. It aired on TV in 2005, and was released on DVD the same year.

Penguin Productions 900 uploaded this Velkommin til Latabæjar (Welcome to LazyTown) DVD ISO rip to the Internet Archive a while ago and kindly, generously gave me permission to upload all the episodes (Welcome to LazyTown / Velkommin til Latabæjar , Dr. Rottenstein / Glannfinnur læknir, Sports Day / Ípróttadagur & Super Hero for a Day / Hetja í einn dag) individually to YouTube. Secondary, 3 of 3

The DVD has English and Icelandic subtitles, but I uploaded the videos without any subtitles. I have only uploaded two episodes as called in the Icelandic language, ‘Velkommin til Latabæjar’ & ‘Glannfinnur Læknir’.

I will probably upload the rest soon, but who knows? Credits are sped up by me to be ten seconds long, making 24 minutes straight of video time.

The Official LazyTown Websites (2003-2009)

I made  those videos on the LazyTown Entertainment websites! The first video. focused on the 2003-2004 websites with me reading out each and every page and commenting. Part two focuses on the 2004-2009 websites with me summarizing the pages, playing the games and commenting.

Part two is the better video, I say. It has some LazyTown gameplays, the background music wasn’t too loud, and it was shorter. Part one is fourty minutes edited, but that’s how long part two is UNEDITED.

 

Interviews – With Vivii13 & Magnus Scheving

Yes, a Magnus Scheving interview, but surprisingly, I’ll save it for later.

If you watched LazyTown videos on YouTube in the 2010s, or you just like watching old LazyTown videos, you may know Vivii13 – she’s a German LazyTown dancer who cosplayed as Stephanie and did dance routines from the show.

She got in touch with me / I commented on one of her community posts like three times and she gave me her email address (I probably shouldn’t have admitted that). YES! I asked the members of GetLazy what their questions for her were, and LazyPooky asked the members of her ‘We Love LazyTown’ Facebook group. We ended up with 20+ questions. Anyways, she answered all the questions happily. Here is the link:

Thanks to LazyPooky for assisting me in the conduction of the interview. Now, the title of this post says Interviews with both Viv and Magnus Scheving. Well, I took the liberty of subtitling three Magnus Scheving interviews in both Eng and Icelandic.

Nick Jr. Insider (Learn to do the signature move) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggvr5XVrDVM

London Tonight (Sportacus Sports Hall) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwpQkrl2Jns

Stod 2 (Magnus Scheving talks about Hollywood Life) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVtOG2otngM (Not every part of this one is subtitled.)

 

Wake Up, Shake Up! (LazyTown Exercise with Sportacus) 720p HD

Multiple 2010 exercises / workouts where you exercise with Sportacus! Jump rope, stretching, pushups, spider walk (the hardest one), skiing practice, and much much more! This video has helped me workout more, and I can feel my leg muscles get stronger. Another one coming soon with recycled Stephanie moves from LazyTown Extra.

Fun fact which I mentioned in a previous post, thanks to the videos, I actually do exercise every single day and morning and dawn thanks to this video as well as Solla Stirda (FAN CHANNEL)’s Motivational Campaigns. Check out my ‘Extra Sportacus’, ‘Extra Sportacus: Part II’, and lastly,  ‘Extra Sportacus: The Finale’ videos for more exercising workouts if you want to.

Wake Up, Shake Up was a LazyTown campaign in the United Kingdom in 2010, urging people all over the country in daycares, hospitals, senior centres and way much more to get up and move!https://web.archive.org/web/20230126001058/https://forums.lazytown.eu/filedata/fetch?id=147787&d=1669316314

These are not the only Wake Up, Shake Up videos that exist! If you love Stephanie, good for you, because an eighteen minute long sequel is arriving soon with moves from Steph AND Sporty!

Asides from this, LazyTown has had some big events in the United Kingdom before. Most of all their big live shows happened there, and the United Kingdom got their own designated fifteen minute long LazyTown spinoff in 2008 called ‘LazyTown Extra’ that aired on BBC 2, BBC HD, and of course, CBeebies. They also worked with ASDA: Saving The Money Every Day in 2010 for the ‘Go Step Go’ campaign in order to get more people to buy the four tracked CD and do the challenge.

A new LazyTown video series idea.

I ramble on my thoughts about numerous LazyTown related things. I’m probably gonna make the first episode about Bessie, my least favourite character of the show.

I’ve also got a plan to make LazyTown Lyric videos for the third and fourth season. I’ve made a website for the songs (lazytownlyrics.blogspot.com) featuring credits as to who composed / wrote them. I figure I can do the same for the season three and four lyric videos! I’ll probably just make the S4 lyric videos, then re-make them once the official releases come out.

Oh, and yeah, just before typing this, thanks to the DVD release, I took some LazyTown Extra screenshots, and you won’t believe it, screenshots from LazyTown Festival in Hollini (2010). WE UP!!

Exercising with LazyTown

I used to have some weight laying around I didn’t need until I finally decided to start to get up and move with LazyTown. I do it every single day and now I can do a POWER JUMP!

I’ve lost some weight but I don’t know exactly how much.

I hated exercising until I decided to do it the LazyTown way. So thank you Magnus.

The Wake Up, Shake Up Part 2 video will be coming soon.

The list of sources I get my workouts from

  • LazyTown Extra
  • ‘Blast Off’ / Super Sproutlet Show
  • LazyTown Motivational Campaign
  • Wake Up, Shake Up
  • Interactive Games on DVDs
  • Family Fitness w/ Magnus Scheving
