Development
The pilot was originally recorded in late 2016 when the idea to reboot the backyardigans was first thought of. It was considered lost until 2018 when it was uploaded to youtube, then re-uploaded in 2019, and one final time in 2020. There were multiple changes made between the pilot episode and the full series.

Trivia/Differences

 * the models in this version were very different from the final version (they were not colored and were smaller)
 * the logo used is the season 3 logo
 * there is a different filming location, on the bed instead of on the floor
 * the characters don't move around as much
 * the camera that is being used is a phone and not a tablet like in the final show
 * the camera is more wobbly due to the fact that there is no stand
 * one hand is holding the camera, and the other is holding the characters
 * the backyardigans don't dance during the end song
 * they also don't say goodbye during the credits (this wouldn't happen again until season 1 and then until season 7)
