Production
The series was announced in September 2002, when Australian animation studio Yoram Gross-EM.TV entered into a live-action production partnership with The Jim Henson Company to produce Bambaloo, marking Yoram Gross-EM.TV's first live-action production. Former Nickelodeon Australia head of programming Donna Andrews and producer Justine Flynn served as creators, while their company Buster Dandy Productions co-produced. The Jim Henson Company created Muppet characters for the series via its London production office and handled international distribution, while Yoram Gross-EM.TV handled distribution in Australia and Asia. When the series was renewed for a second season in 2004, Yoram Gross-EM.TV took over full production after its German parent EM.TV sold The Jim Henson Company back to the Henson family in May 2003 and shuttered its European production operations in September of that year. However, The Jim Henson Company's Muppet Workshop in London continued providing the puppets for the second season.
