The A.J.'s Time Travelers series combines live action and 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: Sir Edmond Hillary, A.J. hesitates to ask a girl to the prom for fear of rejection. When he and the crew of the KYROS land on the peak of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953, they meet Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay, who have just reached the peak -- the first to accomplish this great feat. Through hearing about the difficulties these two overcame to make their historic climb, A.J realizes you never know what you can achieve if you don't try.
