Justin Time is a Canadian animated television series that follows the adventures of a young boy named Justin, who travels through time and space to explore different environments and cultures. In Season 1 Episode 13, titled "Blast Off! / Up, Up and Away!", Justin and his two friends, Squidgy and Olive, embark on an imaginative journey that takes them to outer space.
At the start of the episode, Justin and his friends are playing with a cardboard rocket ship that they've created in Justin's backyard. They're having a blast pretending to be astronauts, but their play is interrupted when they hear a strange noise coming from the sky. They look up and see a real rocket ship soaring through the air. Justin quickly realizes that it's his opportunity to blast off into space and explore the galaxy.
The trio heads inside Justin's house to find some supplies for their space mission. They pack helmets, space suits, and some food. Justin's pet dog, struts, wants to join the mission too, but they leave him behind, promising to bring back some space food for him.
Once they're all suited up and ready to go, Justin hops into the cardboard rocket ship and Squidgy and Olive get into their own makeshift spaceships. They count down from ten and then, with a blast, they're off into orbit.
The first stop on their galactic journey is a planet full of aliens who look like bouncy balls. The aliens are excited to see the visitors and they guide them through their planet. Justin and his friends learn about the creatures' environment, equipment, and living style, as well as how they speak in their unusual language. They also demonstrate their bouncy ball abilities to the visitors.
Next, they head to a planet that is made entirely of ice and snow. They meet a group of creatures called Ice-Aliens. These creatures are shaped like penguins and have long, pointy beaks. Justin and his friends spend some time playing with the Ice-Aliens and even have a snowball fight with them.
As they travel deeper into space, the group encounters some trouble. Squidgy's spaceship loses power, and he's unable to keep up with Justin and Olive. They come up with a plan to save Squidgy by capturing a star. But catching a star is no easy task. They have to work together and come up with a plan to securely capture the star without causing any damage to themselves and the star. With a bit of teamwork and creativity, they finally catch the star and use its energy to power up Squidgy's spaceship.
The last planet they visit is a strange place full of floating islands. The group starts exploring the islands, but they're soon interrupted by a group of monsters who want to eat them. Justin and his friends know they have to defend themselves from these creatures and to do so they have to outwit them.
Eventually, the trio finds their way back to Earth, where they crash land in Justin's backyard. They're thrilled with their journey to outer space, and Struts, their dog, is thrilled with the space food they've brought back for him. The episode ends with Justin and his friends tired but happy and ready for their next adventure.
Overall, "Blast Off! / Up, Up and Away!" is a fun and imaginative episode of Justin Time. It showcases the creativity and resourcefulness of Justin and his friends as they travel through space and meet new creatures and cultures. The episode also highlights the importance of teamwork and problem-solving. Kids will love watching Justin's imaginative journeys and seeing how much fun he and his friends have exploring the unknown.
