Produced by Southern Star Entertainment/Southern Star Singapore (a division of Endemol Group) in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Bananas in Pajamas offers new CG-animated adventures of B1 and B2, the P-J-wearing bananas and their beloved friends the Teddies, and the mischievous Rat, as they frolic in the magical world of Cuddlestown.
