===Production===
The ''Happy Planet'' series were produced by Montreal-based animation company EnSky Studios, notable for the ''Smart Planet'' series and was the company's first production to use a new [[Autodesk Maya|Alias Wavefront Maya]] animation software. Rendering was done with [[Mental Ray]], while compositing work was completed in [[Adobe Premiere Pro|Adobe Premiere]] and [[Media Composer]]. Most backgrounds were modeled in 3D, with geometry sculpted with [[Autodesk 3ds Max|Discreet 3ds Max]] and texturing done with [[Adobe Photoshop]]; one method of replicating the source material's visual style was through black edging 3D objects with Toon Shader. There were also 2D animated backgrounds and visual effects created with [[Adobe After Effects]] and [[Avid DS]]. The characters are animated in high quality 3D, while objects in the backgrounds are black edged to give them a 2D cartoon feel.
The show was produced by [[Jam Filled Entertainment|DKP Effects]] and EnSky Studios in [[Canada]]. The show was created in a variety of CGI animation techniques. CGI animation styles include high quality animation for [[Autodesk Maya|Maya]] and cel-shaded animation for [[Autodesk 3ds Max|3ds Max]] during every episode, along with real-time animation mostly for [[LightWave 3D|LightWave]] and [[Messiah (software)|Messiah]] during the live-action segments that can teach kids to read with words, write with letters, calculate with numbers, build with shapes, and draw with colors.
