The characters give themselves different jobs or roles depending on the episode's imaginary setting, such as detectives, knights, or scientists. From the 2d flavour onward, many episodes are parodies of activeness-take chances films such as James Bond, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, and Ghostbusters.

The stories begin with the characters in the backyard, introducing themselves and explaining the scenario they are about to imagine. When the Backyardigans finish their take chances, the fantasy sequence fades, restoring the original lawn setting. The characters sing a closing song, then walk inside their houses for a snack and close the door.

Episodes [edit]

Production [edit]

I really enjoy a large hazard. I call up Dice Hard is one of the greatest films always, not to mention Terminator ii. I love those large films... I wanted to bring some of that fantastical nature to young children, but to do it in a way that is safe, hopefully not scary, and not 'imitatable' except in your caput.

— Janice Burgess on the inspirations for The Backyardigans [8]

Janice Burgess, creator of The Backyardigans

Janice Burgess drew inspiration from action films[19] when writing episodes of the testify, equally she wanted to adapt high-stakes stories for a young audience.[8] In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Burgess was asked what inspired the show; she responded, "I know this is going to audio very strange, but the things I actually draw upon are action films. I like Dice Hard, Star Wars, the Tolkien movies ... I thought it would be fun to take kids on that big run a risk."[20] The grapheme of Uniqua was based on how Burgess viewed herself every bit a child; as a result, Uniqua was written equally the leader of the Backyardigans, and Uniqua was the only character who appeared in every episode.

Before Nickelodeon ordered the start season, ii pilot episodes of The Backyardigans were made. The first was a live-activeness pilot titled "Me and My Friends,"[21] filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in September 1998.[22] The characters were played past full-trunk puppets who danced on an indoor phase. The airplane pilot was rejected by Nickelodeon, and Janice Burgess decided to rework the concept into an blithe show. In 2002, a 2d airplane pilot was created; it was a computer-animated short produced at Nickelodeon Digital.[23] The 2nd airplane pilot was greenlit by Nickelodeon to go a full-length series. Nickelodeon chosen the bear witness "a habitation-grown Nick Jr. belongings," as "the whole creative team... [had] been part of the Nick Jr. family for years."[4]

In December 2009, Nick Jr. president Brownish Johnson stated that Nickelodeon intended to go on the show running for "at least another v years. Mayhap forever."[8] Nickelodeon believed that The Backyardigans was an ideal "evergreen" property: a series that would stay in production for a long time through multiple generations. A 5th flavor was planned in 2009.[8] Yet, in 2010, Janice Burgess decided to end The Backyardigans to beginning working on one of Nickelodeon Animation Studio's newer projects: a revival series of Winx Order, a girls' activeness-risk franchise.

Critics noted that the series held broad appeal to older viewers, due to its high-quality music and focus on character-driven, not-educational stories. Susan Stewart of The New York Times said "it's difficult to say whether The Backyardigans is a fantasy for children or for their parents,"[nine] commending the show'southward animation and storytelling. Common Sense Media'southward Emily Ashby wrote, "It'southward non e'er easy to detect a show y'all like as much every bit your youngsters exercise, but The Backyardigans definitely has the potential to fit that bill."[29] Journalist Virginia Heffernan wrote, "with each episode devoted not only to a separate quest only also to a different musical genre...the testify blows you abroad with its artistic exactitude."[30]

In 2021, the songs "Castaways" and "Into the Thick of Information technology" went viral on TikTok, with the former appearing in more than 745,000 videos[31] and the latter appearing in more than 46,000 videos every bit of June 2021.[32] Due to their success on TikTok, "Castaways" and "Into the Thick of It" reached number five and 13 respectively on the Spotify viral 50 chart in the US for the week first on June 10, 2021.[33]
