Thomas Edison: A.J.'s Time Travelers (TV Episode)

Plot

The A.J.'s Time Travelers series combines live action with 3-D animation to deliver entertainment with a message. The title character, A.J. Malloy, exercises his fertile imagination and curiosity by taking trips to the past in his time machine, KYROS. Accompanied by a wacky crew, A.J. encounters some of the most prominent names in history to learn the important lessons of growing up. In A.J.'s Time Travelers: Thomas Edison, A.J. is distraught over failing a geometry test until KYROS crew member Ollie points out that he and Thomas Edison have some important things in common. With that, A.J. aims the KYROS for West Orange, NJ, circa 1891, where an adult Edison explains how electricity works. From there, they travel further back in time to see an eight-year-old Edison being thrown out of school by a teacher who claims he is "too stupid to learn." ~ Sean Hurley, Rovi
