Los Backyardigans: Tus amiguitos del jardín

I like the fact that the characters poke fun at stuff. It is mostly music. And, whaddya mean "older kids and adults are not likely to be as enthralled"? Me, my 16-year-old brother, my parents, and my little bro LOVE this show!!! (and the pink thing is NOT an alien. It is a Uniqua, a made-up species of animal. It's just like a spork weisel.)

WE love the Backyardigans! It is such a cute show with all the singing and dancing and education all in one, what a great idea. And the animation is the best, the colors are so bold and really keep your child's attention. My child's favorite in the show is Tasha! I have a 2 year old and my friend has a 2 year old as well and we were watching the show together and every time Tasha sang our two toddlers got up and danced like no one was watching! I think that is such a wonderful thing! Keep it coming and whoever sings for Tasha, keep her coming! What a great voice!!! Sincerely, Gina Carmen---We love you singing Tasha!! Your the best!!! Oh, the kids that had me send this are Brandon, Nicholas, Jackson, Mason and Jake

Wow! This is a really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and Noggin with my 1½-year-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and Noggin is the best. If I had to pick, this would definitely be one of the cutest. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and Noggin really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

My son is 17 months old and has seen this movie along with all the other Backyardigans movies. He absolutely loves them. As soon as the first couple of notes of the theme music come on, he is on the couch, smiling from ear to ear rocking back and forth to the music. He loves the theme music, the bright colors, the songs the characters sing, and the different words he learns how to say, i.e. arrrrrrrr and stomp, stomp, stomp. My favorite part is that they always have a healthy snack at the end of their adventure. The Backyardigans are wonderful. We absolutely love them. I would recommend these cute little guys to anyone with a small child. I pick up anything I can find that has anything to do with the Backyardigans. And, I'll be looking forward to the next video.

5 computer animated animal characters go on musical adventures in their backyards. Each episode has a theme, such as the kids being pirates, vikings, jungle explorers, and arctic adventurers. Usually it is 4 of the 5 main characters, and each episode ends with the imaginary setting morphing back into the backyard with the kids retiring to one's home for juice and a snack.

What sets this show above most is the remarkable musical and singing component. These kids can sing (especially tasha). Each episode varies in creativity, but the music and singing are consistently first rate. The shows are essentially 25 minute mini -musicals and the musical themes are fun, like the 50's, swing, jazz, and pop.

Parents with preschoolers who have had their fill of the same old purple stuff will find this dramatically refreshing. It is always a plus when a children's program is equally enjoyable by adults.

I hope they keep producing these for a long while.
