With that little summery out of the way, I do have a few things that I'd like to talk about you guys. As many fans of the show would know, the series ended on July 12th, 2013 with four seasons in total. This, of course, was a very big disappointment for many fans of the show, as it had a relatively nice charm to it. And not only that, it was actually a very well made show, with a very realistic plot and proper ways of solving them. Now, many fans had to deal with garbage TV shows like Dora the Explorer and other crap shows. Now, what if I told you that there where actual plans for a reboot of the show? Now I know that sounds relatively shocking, and the same time a bit unbelievable. However, as I am currently speaking, the creator of the Backyardigans are trying to get Nickelodeon's approval for the reboot. How do I know this you might be asking yourself? Simple, I worked for them. No, I wasn't an intern, at least not in the past two years that is. I was actually one of the main animators and editors that was put on charge for the Pilot episode of the new reboot.
Now, this new reboot series would be called 'Backyardigans Backyard Adventures', and would be directed by the same person who created the Backyardigans. It would be animated in the same CGI animation, however the quality of the background and characters themselves would be a lot better than the original animation. The characters would also go through a few changes themselves, although not too much would actually change. For one, the ages of the characters would be heightened up a bit (with Pablo being eleven, Tyrone being twelve, Uniqua being ten, Tasha being nine, and Austin being seven). The
The show's only major difference between the original 'Backyardigans' and 'Backyardigans Backyard Adventures' (plot wise that is) is that instead of the show just being about the Adventure they were going on. The show would have two different plots in one episode that would coincide with one another. This was intended to not only provide viewers with an amazing adventure, but also provide a much needed sub plot about a problem or issue that either one, or all, of the characters were going through that day. These problems could be minor like fighting, bossy people, or school. But there were also darker and somewhat controversial topics like bullying, abuse, depression, divorce, and even death. The reason for this was to try and educate children about real life problems and topics and teach them how to deal with these things properly. Of course, these things would be slightly toned down in order to try and not scare their audience away or frighten them too much with the subject matter. However, it wouldn't be sugar coated either, as to not try and dull the message that was trying to be given. This leads me to the Pilot episode of 'Backyardigans Backyard Adventures ' called "Forest Gruff".
Line 23:
This episode took almost two years to actually write, produce, and animate. The reason for this, was because the original creator of 'The Backyardigans' wanted the new show to be as accurate as possible when it came to characterization and how children really acted. She even went as so far to consult child psychologists and Pediatricians to really help set the characters personality in stone. After one whole years of writing, rewriting, and the occasional writers block the episode was ready to be casted by new cast members (as well as original singing voices) animated, and edited for syndication. The final product being transferred to at least 20 USB drives manually, to prevent any loss of animation. Each USB drive where then sent off with me and a few editing staff to watch the episode and take notes on any kind of issues that we may come across, so that the animation could be properly buffered for postproduction.
I myself not going to bore you with what I did when I got home (as
The episode begins with a full framed shot of each of the characters houses, with a more musical cover of the original theme song. The shot would then pan to Pablo's home with him opening the door and greeting the viewer as well as introducing himself while putting on his bow tie. The same transition would then play for each of the other characters, with them introducing themselves and getting something or doing something comedic. Then it would quickly pan to all of them running into the main backyard and getting together. After this, the main song would begin. The one thing that I found rather interesting with this sequence was that the song itself was the original theme song. This would certainly be a nice hit of nostalgia for older viewers. As the characters sang their theme song, it would cut to older episodes of the show with the opening credits being played below each scene in Bubbly red and yellow font. The intro would then end with all the characters jumping onto the main title of the show and posing as they sang the final line of their song.
The show then transitions to a title card (which was one of the new themes to the show) which had all two characters navigating through a thick and dense forest with Pablo leading Tyrone with a flashlight with the words.
"Oh hi there! It's nice to see you all after some time. It's sure been quite without you guys with us."

"W-why is it so d-dark?"
"Don't tell me
"N-no I'm not!" Pablo rebutted.
Line 197:
"I think I can answer that." Came a voice from the other side of the screen. The camera panned out to reveal it was Austin.
"Austin! It's you,
"Of course I am you guys. Hey Tasha and Uniqua! You can take off the costumes now!" Austin shouted.
