Imagination Stars

Imagination Stars (stylized as IMAGINATION☆STARS) is an animesque-CGI-animated TV series created by Alivia Champ. It is the first installment in the Idol Stars franchise. The series was recorded and written at Nickelodeon Animation Studio, with the traditional animesque animation provided by Nelvana and the CGI animation provided by Guru Studio.

The series was based on a circus back in 1998, when Alivia was 18 at the time, there were 3 girls wearing such familiar-looking wigs and outfits. Then she started to get an idea. The show started with just Olivia, Penny, Taylor, and TIna.

A total of 312 episodes were produced across six seasons, each containing 52 episodes. The series first previewed on Nickelodeon and YTV on September 3, 2004, followed by its official debut on Nickelodeon on October 2, 2004. The sixth season wrapped production in 2010 and finished airing on Nickelodeon on July 13, 2013. A movie adaptation, Imagination Sylphs, released on October 27, 2009, and a side-story with the same title was in production from October 2, 2010 to September 24, 2011.
