Justin Time is a Canadian animated television series created by Brandon James Scott and developed by Frank Falcone, Mary Bredin, and James Scott. The series premiered on September 23, 2011, with the finale airing on June 24, 2016. 39 episodes with 76 segments were produced. The show was broadcast on Disney Junior in Canada, the Sprout channel in the United States, Tiny Pop in the United Kingdom, Mentari TV in Indonesia, TV3 in Malaysia, Rai Yoyo in Italy, TNT in Russia, France 4 in France and RTL Telekids in Netherlands.[1]

## Premise

[edit]

The series revolves around the adventures of Justin. In each episode, Justin encounters a problem of everyday childhood (such as sharing, teamwork, or paying attention). Then, Justin and his shape-shifting sidekick Squidgy solve the problems by tackling them in adventures through time and around the world. In every adventure, Justin and Squidgy meet their best friend Olive, who is always present in the place and time they are visiting, and who usually needs their help to accomplish a task. Together, the three of them encounter the same problem that Justin faces in his world, and together they solve the problem before he gets called back by his parents to his world.

In the original concept, Justin travelled via a time machine, which led to the title "Justin Time".[2] Because the concept of "the past" is challenging for preschoolers, the TV series instead focuses on more developmentally appropriate adventures of fun.

### Main

[edit]

* Justin (voiced by Gage Munroe in seasons 1–2, Drew Davis in season 3[citation needed]) is a happy 8-year-old boy with a positive outlook on life who jumps into action. He is the leader of the team and supervises although sometimes being unsure about being in charge. He learns life skills in each episode and takes care of his two friends Olive and Squidgy.
* Olive (voiced by Jenna Warren) is a 13-year-old girl who stands for friendship in Justin Time. She appears in every place that Justin and Squidgy visit and is the first friend they meet as each adventure begins. Her hair and attire usually changes to match the adventure. Usually through Olive's job, she encounters problems that needs to be solved.
* Squidgy (voiced by Scott McCord) is a big source of fun and comedy in Justin Time. A blogger said he is "a tub of Kooky Clay come to life".[2] Squidgy tends to befriend everyone and everything he sees. He has the ability to speak to all animals except for snakes; he has a phobia of snakes.
