PJ Masks (1984 animated series)

PJ Masks is a animated series created in 1987 by Disney. The show's synopsis is about 3 kids who go out at night as 3 superheroes and stop mean villians who always try to ruin everyone's day by messing something up. It's up to the PJ Masks to fix it. The series starts with 3 heroes (Catboy, Owlette & Gekko) but as the series goes on, new heroes are added and the team is expanded. Unlike the original series, witch was released in 2015, this series had a different plot.


 * 1) The main 2015 series was aimed at preschoolers. The 1987 series was more aimed towards 10-15 year olds and featured longer escapades and some romance scenes not present in the original show.
 * 2) Unlike the original series witch is CGI, this series is done in hand-drawn animation similar to that of Ducktales, Inspector Gadget, My Little Pony etc.
 * 3) In the 2015 series, only the 3 heroes have day forms. In the 1987 series, the villians also have day forms and names (Romeo's is the same as his night name, but for Night Ninja & Luna, there names are Nick & Cynthia)
 * 4) This show is completely fictional meaning it never happened. This also goes for the movie as well.

Before Disney picked up producing the show, a pitch pilot was created titled "Heroes In Pajamas V.S. Moth Girl". Moth Girl would be changed in production and become Luna Girl later on. The pilot was from 1984 and was very lowbrow showing how the PJ's got their powers (witch is indicated in a later season) and them fighting Moth Girl who is stealing all the mirrors from the store so she can literally look at her beauty (a attribute not picked up by Luna). As such, the heroes stop her and go to bed. The pilot was only seen twice and is lost to this day. As time went on, Disney started on the series in late 1985 and would work on the first season. Due to note of popularity, Disney would start a backup film witch would evolve into PJ Masks: The Movie (releasing in June 1988). The series would air on multiple channels but the film would start airing on Disney Channel in February 1989 but would air on ABC in March 1989 and eventually CBS in June 1989 (the movies first anniversary). The series would get a Season 2 in July 1988 during the movies release. During the second season, a third season was teased for 1990, then publicly announced that due to the shows overwhelming popularity, that the show would get a 3rd season in Spring of 1990 and would also receive a DTV sequel to it's successful film. Both the 3rd season & DTV film were so popular that in 1991, a 4th season was announced with a special 1st episode "I'll Never Leave Your Side" where Greg worries as the PJ Masks get older, they'll stop being friends. The PJ Masks make a promise in the end to never leave each other's sides. In 1992, a 5th season was also announced and released. By 1993, a 6th season was announced. However, due to time, the series would only receive 29 episodes. In July 1994, it was announced that Season 8 was the last season of PJ Masks. The show had not been picked up for a 9th season. Despite the show ending, there have been multiple attempts to reboot it, such as a teenage esc reboot in 2002 but that never happened. In 2015, the show was rebooted and butchered into a preschooler's show. Many original fans ignore the reboot and stick to the classic series that was a era of good times for many growing up in the late 80's/90's. A plan to bring back the show was thought up in 2019, but due to the reboot's popularity, it never happened.
