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: Amerigo Vespucci, A.J. feels cheated when a classmate takes credit for his report. When the KYROS lands in 1508 Seville, Spain, they meet Amerigo Vespucci, who has some advice for A.J., as he is going through a similar experience with his friend Christopher Columbus. Vespucci tells A.J. that he was the first to grasp that the land mass found by Columbus was an undiscovered continent, but that he received no credit for this realization -- until the continent was named in his honor.
