Justin Time is a Canadian animated television series created by Brandon James Scott and developed by Frank Falcone, Mary Bredin, and James Scott. The series premiered on September 23, 2011, with the finale airing on June 24, 2016. A total of 76 segments in 39 episodes were produced. The show was made for Disney Junior in Canada, the Sprout channel in the United States, Tiny Pop in the United Kingdom, Mentari TV in Indonesia, TV3 in Malaysia, Rai Yoyo in Italy, TNT in Russia, France 4 in France, and RTL Telekids in Netherlands.^[1]

The series revolves around the adventures of Justin. In every episode, Justin encounters a problem of everyday childhood (such as sharing, teamwork, or paying attention). Then, Justin and his shape-shifting sidekick Squidgy solve the problems by tackling them in adventures through time and around the world. In every adventure, Justin and Squidgy meet their best friend Olive, who is always present in the place and time they are visiting, and who usually needs their help to accomplish a task. Together, the three of them encounter the same problem that Justin faces in his world, and together they solve the problem before he gets called back by his parents to his world.

In the original concept, Justin travelled via a time machine, which led to the title "Justin Time".^[2] Because the concept of "the past" is challenging for preschoolers, the TV series instead focuses on more developmentally appropriate adventures of fun.

• Justin (voiced by Gage Munroe in seasons 1–2, and Drew Davis in season 3^{[citation needed]}) is a happy 8-year-old boy with a positive outlook on life who jumps into action. He is the leader of the team and takes charge, despite sometimes being unsure about it. He learns life skills in each episode, and takes care of his two friends Olive and Squidgy.
• Olive (voiced by Jenna Warren) is a 13-year-old girl that stands for friendship in Justin Time. She appears in every place that Justin and Squidgy visit and is the first friend they meet as each adventure starts. Her hair and attire usually changes to match the adventure. Usually through Olive's job, she encounters problems that needs to be solved.
• Squidgy (voiced by Scott McCord) is a big source of fun and comedy in Justin Time. He is described as "a tub of Kooky Clay come to life".^[2] Squidgy tends to befriend everyone and everything he sees, and has the ability to speak to all animals except snakes, which he is afraid of.

• Hilda Pearson (voiced by Heather Bambrick) is Justin's caring mother.
• Olive's Grandpa
• Cinderella is a young princess.
• Monty is a mammoth.
• Cleopatra is a museum princess girl.
• Dawn is a girl that wears a brown hat, a white shirt, and a brown vest.
• Pierre is a friend of Justin and Squidgy.
• Sammy is Justin's neighbor.

In November 2014, it was announced that Disney Junior Canada and Netflix had ordered a third season of Justin Time, to be entitled Justin Time: The New Adventures on Netflix. The 13 half-hour episodes were to be released in 2016.^[3]

Justin Time was nominated for a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Preschool Animated Program,^[4] and twice for an Annie Award for Best Animated Television Production for Preschool Children.^[5] It was also nominated for three Canadian Screen Awards, in the Best Pre-School Program or Series category, winning one in 2014.^{[citation needed]}
