Jay Jay the Jet Plane is an American live-action/CGI-animated musical children's television series created by David and Deborah Michel and first aired on TLC and later moved to PBS Kids, with reruns on Qubo and TBN's Smile.
The series was intended to be educational to teach moral and life lessons to young-aged children.
The end credits music during the original airings of seasons 1-3 was a reprise of "Gee, How I Love to Fly", which was changed to a new instrumental tune for repeats from late 2001 onwards.
[citation needed] In 2005, new episodes were produced featuring additional characters, including the red Latina monoplane Lina.
[5] The characters' were fully redesigned, and made to look more cartoony, newer, and like the original series, it will be CGI-animated.
[6] In the CGI-animated/live-action television series, the planes and ground vehicles are CGI characters, while the humans are live-action actors.
Relationship words for the airplane characters refer to being in loco parentis for purposes of upbringing, and education, not to biological parenthood.
Outside of the series' home country, It aired on Channel 5, Discovery Kids, Tiny Pop and S4C's Cyw block in the UK, Canal+ and Piwi in France, Discovery Kids in Latin America, TV Cultura in Brazil and Nickelodeon in the Middle East.
