Junior is a German children's television network. A programming block based on the network has been broadcast internationally. 30-second animated shorts, similarly titled Junior, were shown as wraparound segments between other animated series. In some countries, such as Australia, both the programming block and the animated shorts were called J-Squad.

The wraparound animations center around the experiences of three kids, Junior, Jane, and Jaz.[1]

300 animated wraparounds were created in total. The shorts were created by the German company Trickcompany for EM.TV. Directed by Bernie Denk, the short films were created in CGI, using the program Illustrate.[2]

The wraparounds were shown in multiple countries and dubbed into several languages. In Australia, the animated shorts were aired on "Network Seven" and broadcast on TG4 in 2002-2003.[3] At least three of the wraparounds were released on a now-out of print Australian DVD titled "The Best of J-Squad: Volume 1" along with three episodes of series which were shown as a part of the programming block ("Poochini", "What About Mimi?", and "Weird-Ohs").[4][5] English versions of the shorts are currently not available online.
