Jay the Jet Plane - Billed as a place where
"imagination takes flight" the delightful animated children's
series JAY JAY THE JET PLANE debuted on The Learning Channel
on November 2, 1998. It followed the adventures of a perky and
inquisitive six-year-old jet plane named Jay Jay who lives in
Tarrytown, USA, a rural valley community surrounded by lush
green meadows and snow-capped mountains. Jay Jay interacted
with his friends, Tracy the Jet Plane, Old Oscar the Bi-Plane,
Snuffy the Skywriter, Herky the Helicopter, Big Jake the Prop
Plane and Savannah the Supersonic Jet as they carried
passengers and cargo in and out of the small but busy
Tarrytown airport often flying over nearby Lightning Bug Lake.
When in need of guidance, the planes talked with the cheerful
airport mechanic, Brenda Blue. The show's computer generated
cartoons are created by using face-tracking headgear which
match facial movements to the animation as well as perfect
lip-synchs. The miniature sets on the series were created by
Emmy award winner David Sharp. The program was the brainchild
of successful Dallas-based businessman David Michel and
brought to television via Porchlight Entertainment and Modern
Cartoons.
