## Cast

1. Sean Curley as Pablo, a member of the Backyardigans, good-natured and tries to make everyone happy. He is an imaginative and frenetic little penguin who’s a bit tightly wound. He thinks, speaks, acts, and reacts quickly – but by no means is he a birdbrain. Pablo is always ready to help his backyard playmates as they explore the High Seas, the Frozen North, or the Wild West. He may not be the most agile or graceful of the friends, but he’s enthusiastic, well respectful, and determined, he was captured by T-900, and Pablonator, a robot who works alongside T-900. He was a bad robot until he became good when Uniqua flipped his switch.
2. Kristen Klabunde as Tasha, a member of The Backyardigans and daughter of Father Lion Scar who was betrayed and scolded by him and runs away in tears, rational, skeptical, is the most serious, and likes to get her own way. She is smart, sensible, and also likes to go on adventures. She can be a bit bossy, but stubborn as she is,  she’ll usually listen to Uniqua… eventually. Tasha is someone who can also be giggly, silly, and full of fun. Her interests include tea parties and talking fancy, and T-900, a robot and Pablonator's partner. She was a bad robot until she became good.
