## 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.
3. Nicholas Barasch as Austin, member of The Backyardigans, a new kangaroo on the block, sweet, helpful, quiet (not for the whole movie), a little shy, but always ready to play.

5. Jamia Simone Nash as Uniqua, leader of The Backyardigans, a friendly nice and kind alien hybrid (Ladybug) who is confident, imaginative, brave, smart, full of ideas, and likes to tell jokes to her friends. She’s also very caring and is the Backyardigan most likely to notice if you’re worried or sad and say something about it because she cares about you.

## The backstory of the Crystal Kingdom Family

Sapphire reminds Fire Gem that playing ball inside the castle is not allowed. But right after he leaves, Fire Gem starts doing it again despite his sisters' protests and one of the balls ends up smashing into the part of the crystal tree. Amy says they should tell their father what happened, but Fire Gem knows he will not be allowed to go to the circus if they do that, so he suggests they try hiding the smashed part of the crystal tree behind a suit of armor. Amy is unsure of this but, after some pleading from Fire Gem, she agrees to help him. While pushing it towards the window, they hear their parents approaching and Francesca goes to stall them. Amy and Fire Gem finish moving the armor in front of the window, but Fire Gem accidentally knocks over the axe it's holding and it hits the crystal tree, putting a huge crack in it and trapping Sorcerer Topaz in the tree. Francesca is playing the harp for her parents and the song she plays is so long Sapphire falls asleep out of sheer boredom and when she finishes, they attempt to leave quickly after she offers to play another, but she stops them and takes them to go look at her new tiara and go on live tours around the territories of the kingdom.

Amy, once again, urges Fire gem to go tell their father what happened but Fire Gem decides to fix the window with magic. Amy is against the plan but Fire Gem ignores her causing her to cover her eyes and moan "I can't look!" Fire Gem successfully casts a spell that frees Topaz from the tree but shortly afterwards the entire tree shatters just as Sapphire & Ruby arrive.

Finally, the kids tell their parents that Fire Gem was the one who really broke the tree with Amy and Francesca was trying to keep them from seeing it. Very disappointed, Sapphire and Ruby escort Francesca, Fire Gem, and Amy to the throne room.

The King and Queen have a discussion with their kids about the importance of telling the truth: Amy, Fire Gem and Francesca are all scolded for trying to hide the ruined window from their parents, Fire Gem is scolded for breaking a castle rule, Francesca is scolded for trying to stall them, and Amy is scolded for the little white lie that she told by both Ruby and Sapphire who tell her that families need to be honest and not keep secrets from each other especially when things go wrong because that only makes the problem worse.

After promising to tell the truth from now on and told them the truth, Amy runs away in tears crying to a dark crystal cave with Fire Gem and Francesca following her and stopping her. They tell her that they told the truth and hug Amy and tell her to go back to the hall, but Amy refuses and runs away into a dark crystal cave, Francesca decides that she and Fire Gem will follow the trail of dark crystal to Amy. There, Amy runs into a strange red crystal. The crystal speaks to Amy, calling itself her mother, and reveals that he is not a girl but an "umbrum"—shadow and smoke given physical form.

When Amy later appeared before them again at dinner on a rainy day as the guards brought her home to her family, she was consumed by darkness, shadow crystals, dark crystals and revenge and became the evil princess of dark crystals: Soroca.
