Lift Off was an Australian children's television series that was developed and produced by Patricia Edgar and broadcast on ABC Television from 1992 until the series ended in 1995.
Each episode of the series featured a live action storyline about a group of young children, and the problems they encountered with growing up, their parents, and various other social issues.
Episodes featured segments of short animation, puppetry and documentary segments, as well as various songs, stories, and word games. Aimed at 3 to 8-year-olds, the series was linked with the school curricula through the Curriculum Corporation of Australia.[2] The different episodes used stories and locations to explore subjects such as jealousy, loneliness and anger. The puppet characters were designed by illustrator Terry Denton and were constructed by the sculptor Ron Mueck.
