) In September 2016, a judge awarded Viacom damages of over $14.9 million relating to the show.[2] It was pulled from the lineup less than a month later, while all traces of the show were also removed from Nick Jr.'s website at the same time.
Lalaloopsy focuses on Lalaloopsy Land. Lalaloopsy Land is inhabited by colorful rag dolls, who came to life the moment their last stitch was sewn.
Each episode focuses on one or two groups of them facing a problem of their own, and them either solving it on their own or with incidental or previously planned help from the other group of dolls seen in the episode.
