The show's title is a <a href="/wiki/Portmanteau" class="mw-redirect" title="Portmanteau">portmanteau</a> of "backyard" and "<a href="/wiki/Cardigan_(sweater)" title="Cardigan (sweater)">cardigan</a>". Each episode is set to a different musical genre and features four songs, composed by <a href="/wiki/Evan_Lurie" title="Evan Lurie">Evan Lurie</a> with lyrics by McPaul Smith. The Backyardigans' adventures span many different genres and settings. The show's writers took inspiration from <a href="/wiki/Action-adventure_film" class="mw-redirect" title="Action-adventure film">action-adventure films</a>, and many episodes are parodies of films. </p><p>Janice Burgess had worked as Nick Jr.'s production executive since the mid-1990s. <i>The Backyardigans</i> originated as a live-action <a href="/wiki/Pilot_episode" class="mw-redirect" title="Pilot episode">pilot episode</a> titled "Me and My Friends", filmed at <a href="/wiki/Nickelodeon_Studios" title="Nickelodeon Studios">Nickelodeon Studios Florida</a> and completed in September 1998. The characters were played by full-body puppets on an indoor stage. The pilot was rejected by Nickelodeon, and Burgess decided to rework the concept into an animated series. In 2002, a second pilot was animated at <a href="/wiki/Nickelodeon_Digital" title="Nickelodeon Digital">Nickelodeon Digital</a> in New York. The second pilot was successful, and the series entered production. </p><p>The show ran for four seasons, totaling 80 episodes. Most episodes aired on Nickelodeon on weekday mornings. In 2009, the show was planned to continue beyond the fourth season.<sup id="cite_ref-Techmedia_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Techmedia-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, in 2010, Burgess decided to move onto a different series: Nickelodeon's <a href="/wiki/Winx_Club" title="Winx Club">revival of <i>Winx Club</i></a>. Burgess worked as a creative director and writer for <i>Winx Club</i> before eventually retiring from Nickelodeon in 2014. </p><p><i>The Backyardigans</i> received generally positive reviews from audiences and critics who consider it superior to Nickelodeon's other preschool shows because its writing was sophisticated and enjoyable for older viewers. <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i> and <a href="/wiki/Common_Sense_Media" title="Common Sense Media">Common Sense Media</a> commended the show for including frequent nods to an older audience,<sup id="cite_ref-nyt-knights_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nyt-knights-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> such as references to action-adventure franchises. The quality of the show's music was also well received by critics, and the show received eight <a href="/wiki/Daytime_Emmy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Daytime Emmy Award">Daytime Emmy Award</a> nominations for its music. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2></div> <p>The show centers around a group of five animal neighbors named Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, Tasha, and Austin.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They share a large backyard between their houses. In each episode, they meet in the backyard and imagine themselves on a fantastical adventure. Their adventures span a variety of different genres and settings; many episodes involve visiting different parts of the world, traveling back or forward in time, and using magic or supernatural powers. The characters give themselves different jobs or roles depending on the episode's imaginary setting, such as detectives, knights, or scientists. From the second season onward, many episodes are parodies of action-adventure films such as <i><a href="/wiki/James_Bond" title="James Bond">James Bond</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Trek" title="Star Trek">Star Trek</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Indiana_Jones" title="Indiana Jones">Indiana Jones</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Ghostbusters" title="Ghostbusters">Ghostbusters</a></i>. </p><p>The openings and endings of the episodes follow a similar pattern. The stories begin with the characters in the backyard, introducing themselves and explaining the scenario they are about to imagine, which causes the backyard to transform into an environment fitting the scenario they are imagining. When the Backyardigans finish their adventure, their stomachs begin to growl, leading to them deciding to have a snack at one of their houses. As they return home, the fantasy sequence fades, restoring the original backyard setting. The characters sing a closing song, say their goodbyes to the audience, then walk inside the house that belongs to the snack inviter and close the door. As the episode ends, at least one character reopens the door and shouts a phrase related to the adventure. </p><p>The show follows the format of a <a href="/wiki/Musical_theatre" title="Musical theatre">stage musical</a>. Each episode is set to a different genre of music and features four songs. The characters sing and dance to the songs with original choreography. The song and dance routines are often used to introduce a character's imaginary role, further the plot, or explain a problem. In addition to singing songs in a new genre each episode, the show's background music changes to match, scoring all of the Backyardigans' actions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2></div> <p>Each of the five main characters on the show has a separate voice actor in the original US dub for speaking and singing voices, while the voice actors in the UK dub provide <b>both</b> speaking and singing voices. Live-action dancers first performed the dancing on the show, and their movements were later transported to animation. The choreographer, Beth Bogush, described the process: "What we do is we film the live footage in the studio, send that off, and they do a <a href="/wiki/Traditional_animation#Layout" title="Traditional animation">Leica</a>, and then they send it to the animators. The animators watch and were pretty precise. What we film for that day is pretty close to what you see in the character."<sup id="cite_ref-ref1_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref1-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Main">Main</h3></div> <ul><li><span class="anchor" id="Uniqua"></span>Uniqua is a pink-spotted unique creature who is curious, self-confident, and adventurous. She is best friends with Pablo and Tyrone. She likes to tell jokes and make her friends laugh. The series uses the name "Uniqua" for both the character and her species. She usually imagines herself having roles that require brains and courage, such as a scientist or pirate captain. Creator <a href="/wiki/Janice_Burgess" title="Janice Burgess">Janice Burgess</a> described Uniqua as the child she wished she was like as a child.

Due to his energy and impetuousness, he often goes into a "panic attack" when he faces an obstacle, running around in circles and telling his friends not to worry until someone gets his attention by calling his name three times. Pablo's panic attacks became less prominent after the first season, though in the later episode "The Flipper!", his propensity for getting overexcited is the main plot point.

Tyrone is known for his sarcastic comments, one of them being "That certainly was convenient." At the end of most episodes, he says, "That was an excellent adventure, don't you think?"
