When 8-year-old Stephanie moves to LazyTown to live with her uncle, she encourages her new friends to go out and entertain themselves, rather than lock themselves up to play video games. Her efforts are supported when her uncle, Mayor Meanswell, enlists the help of Sportacus, who urges LazyTown residents to stay fit and eat healthy "sports candy." The villain Robbie Rotten works to thwart her efforts, preferring that the citizens of LazyTown be quiet and lazy. Watching the city from his underground lair, Robbie may actually be the busiest person in LazyTown, as he works to inflict laziness on his neighbors.
