Jim Henson's Pajanimals (a portmanteau of the words Pajamas and Animals) is a children's TV series created by Jeff Muncy. It airs on Nick Jr. and Tiny Pop in its country of origin (the United Kingdom) and Sprout in the US. The Pajanimals are characters that were made by Jim Henson's Creature Shop at The Jim Henson Company.

The show is about the Pajanimals. They are four friendly animals who share the last moments of playtime before bedtime, sing songs, and learn a valuable lesson by traveling to whimsical lands. The characters are Apollo, Sweetpea Sue, Squacky, and Cowbella.

The Jim Henson Company partnered with Northern Irish production company Sixteen South (the producer of Sesame Tree) to produce a full-length series of 52x11 episodes (or 26x22) of Pajanimals that debuted on October 10, 2011 on Sprout. The show was produced for a US audience, and due to this, did not premiere in the UK until 2013. The full-length TV series shows the Pajanimals doing some playtime before getting ready for bed. It also introduces some character exclusive to this show who the Pajanimals go for bedtime advice or any other problems. At the end of the episode, the TV show exclusive-character the Pajanimals visit would tell the viewer the moral of the episode.

These episodes aired on Sprout (TV network) in the US, Cartoonito in the UK, and Playhouse Disney in Scandinavia.

A Common Sense Media review says "This soothing series combines delightful tales and melodic songs to give families the opportunity to relax and unwind before diving into bedtime routines.
