There's a whole world waiting to be discovered right outside in the backyard--it just takes imagination and a little help from the Backyardigans. Nick JR's Backyardigans is a computer animated series about five preschool-age animals who spend their days playing together in a shared backyard. By using their imaginations; Pablo; Tyrone; Uniqua; Tasha and Austin experience life as ghosts; solve a monster mystery; embark on a quest to save Egypt from a drought; and search for buried treasure. Besides having lots of fun; the group learns about overcoming fears; the investigate process; and the importance of things like cooperation; sharing and saying please and thank you. Each of the four 25-minute episodes features a healthy selection of musical numbers in a specific musical style: 1920's jazz; 1960's rock-n-roll; Broadway musical; and reggae. Special DVD features include an introduction to each character and his or her personality; suggestions of "how to be a Backyardigan;" and the music video "A Pirate Says Arrr."
