Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is an amazing cartoon (exclammation point) I love the constant musical and imaginary stimulation to my kid. She is only 8-months old and that is the only cartoon that calms her down. Not only that, it makes her smile and she tries to sing with the songs in the episode. It is so cute! I just came back from Italy and it is big there too. My husband's 8 year old could only talk the "zomzoli" (that is what the show is called there. We went to a city called Otranto and the only Nick stuffed animals that we saw in a toy store was "the zomzoli". No Dora, no Diego,...I was also reading the Brazilian paper (I am from Brazil) and it is also big there.Why would Nick cancel such an awesome show (question mark)Stupid move.

I caught this as a part of CBS' Saturday morning line-up while staying with a client where I am a staff member. I watched this for about a year and it,along with "Kenny the Shark",were two of my favorite shows on the slate. A simple show about five friends who gather at any of their backyards(hence the title)to embark on an adventure of their imaginations(Pirate ship on the high seas,space exploration,jungle safari,deep sea diving come to mind),it was replete with simple but curious and bright dialog and musical numbers that was astutely child-like and yet fun. A neat little show that could probably appeal to kids over the age of five(unlike,say,the repetitively educational "Dora the Explorer"),I'm not exactly sure why CBS returned this to exclusive property of Noggin a bout a year or so ago,but I suppose they have their reasons. Worth a catch wherever you can find it,though you might feel better watching it with kids or,at the very least,the kid-like.

My 15 month old has been infatuated with these lovable characters since he was merely 5 months old. The Backyardigans are both entertaining for children and most importantly for parents too. Unlike many of the other programs today this one maintains the true innocence of children and their imaginations.The characters are so memorable that my 5 year old nephew watched one video and knows all of the characters by name and remembered what the episode was about. It has been a joy to watch our son clap, sing and dance along to the music. We've watched our sons videos so much that we can both sing along to all of the songs too!! The creators of this show deserve tremendous appreciation!!

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.
