The LazyTown name was originally used for an English-language translation of the franchise with songs being translated from Icelandic and dubbed into English mainly for English-speaking people in Iceland. However, plans fell through.

In 2003, the franchise got a makeover as Nickelodeon commissioned a television show based on the brand.
