Anne Wood, a British children’s television producer, and creator of the Teletubbies, established the first Book Group to promote enthusiasm for and about children's book in 1965.
Police stated that Sheahan was dressed in a purple Teletubby costume at the time of his arrest.
Ogden is the only true Australian of the three; Robbins is sister to Ted Robbins, Amy Robbins and Kate Robbins and is married to Simon Shelton who plays Tinky Winky in the Teletubbies and is a second cousin of Paul McCartney.
The film was written by Scott Stabile and produced by Kenn Viselman, who was behind the American localization of the British children's series Teletubbies and Thomas & Friends.
After seeing Madea Goes to Jail in a theater, where he saw how the audience members would shout out advice to the characters on screen, Viselman was partially inspired to create a children's film in the vein of Teletubbies with the interactive aspect, allowing the children to sing, dance, and respond to the characters on screen.
It featured programmes such as Teletubbies Everywhere and Miffy for little children and shows such as SimsalaGrimm, Tweety and Sylvester Mysteries, Schuif Af and Kids Top 20 for older kids.
