WHAT IN THE WORLD IS UNIQUA??!!??


Okay!Pablo is a Penguin, Tyrone is a Moose, Tasha is a Hippopotamus, and Austin is a Kangaroo, but WHAT ON EARTH IS UNIQUA??!?? Is she an alien? The Blob? A huge ant? A polka-dot slug? A pigment of my imagination? And why is she wearing clothes that matches her polka-dot skin? Or are those really clothes? Could anybody enlighten me on this,please?

reply

The best way to put it is to say Uniqua is *exactly* what her name suggests. One of a kind. Or, to break all the tension, no defined species. And the intention is to keep her like that, not to try to "fit" her into any category.

From what I understand from the extra in the DVD "It's Great to be a Ghost" She is unique, like nothing else on earth. Your head will start to hurt tring to figure out the clothes think. Tyrone has pockets but we can't tell if he has on pants. So check out the first DVD and you can see it for yourself

The last two posters are absolutey correct. I found this on tv.com: Uniqua is her name, and also her species – with her purple skin, pink spots, and dainty antennae, she doesn't look like any other creature on the planet.

reply

They're called "Moose Pockets", because I said so.

hey, yesterday my sister (who is a grown-up backyardigans addict) was watching the monster episode and i learned it's actually a jumper suit. she was a werewolf and you could unmistakenly see they were clothes with brown buttons and everything.

reply

She's a ladybug. What I don't understand, though, is why a ladybug is exactly the same size as a moose. Oh well.

"Uniqua is her name, and also her species – with her purple skin, pink spots, and dainty antennae, she doesn't look like any other creature on the planet."

Nope, not a ladybug.

Now, now, let's not shout - especially when you missed the wordplay.

I can't even tell if its a girl or boy.

The day I get my own IMDB page will be the happiest day of my life!

reply

She's a girl. At least I can tell you that much.

reply

Are you sure? She looks like a girl but sounds more like a boy. lol.

They always refer to Uniqua as a girl. Or "dudette", on Surf's Up. And, hey, both Lashawn Jefferies and Jamia Simone Nash are girls, so you can be sure!

reply

Also, in the various episodes (eg: Polka Party), she refers to herself as Cowgirl Uniqua.

reply

Someone trying to prove that she's a cow...

"Also, in the various episodes (eg: Polka Party), she refers to herself as Cowgirl Uniqua."

You're kidding, right? Since when is a cow girl a COW at all? It's a GIRL. And let's just point out the fact that Tyrone, Pablo, and Austin refer to themselves as "cowboys" in that episode. Now they're all cows, huh?

reply

They aren't referring to her being a cow, but a female.

Read for comprehension, fool.

reply

My daughter thinks she's a pig. I have no clue.

reply

i dunno...

reply

To the person who asked why Uniqua's as big as a moose.They obviously don't have realistic sizing. Why isn't Tasha the hippo way bigger than all of them? And why isn't Pablo tiny compared to rest of them? The only ones that really match right in size are Tyrone and Austin.

reply

a moose is alot bigger than a kangaroo. Moose are bigger than cows and a kangaroo is about the size of an average man.Pablo could be and Emperor penguin they can get as big as...well a 12 year old or as my husband wants me to mention, as big as me.
But the size thing doesn't matter... the show is for preschoolers and they don't care about the size difference they just like the show.
My husband and i have decided that Uniqua is an alien at least in our house. That way "aliens aren't scary, Uniqua is one." works on our son.

reply

It is an Ant, with purple spots.
That's what my little son says.
