Prickly Problem

Preschool stop-frame animation about Lunar Jim, who lives in Moonaluna, on the second-to-last moon of the Milky Way. Jim, Rover the robotic dog, space mechanic Ripple, space farmer Eco, Ted the clumsy robot and Pixel the main computer all enjoy extraterrestrial adventures.

A satellite dish is broken and needs to be replaced. Jim and the gang arrive to replace it, but they're bombarded with thistles by nearby plants. When they see Yik Yak playing, purposely letting the thistles bounce off his shell, they use the new dish as a shield to protect them on their way to the old dish. They then use the old dish to shield them on their way back to the Hopper.
