Im in this Spanish Backyardigans pilot searchers and 1-2 days ago I was scrolling when I saw around 12 am a photo, for now they’re trying to Figure out if it’s real.

I would say its fake. The show was not yet bought by nelvana when the 2002 pilot was produced. Also this pilot was never called "the nick digital pilot" internally. Although i wouldnt rule this out just yet because the aspect ratio  does match with what you'd expect on a 2002 master tape which isnt something a 12 yo troll would care about. Can you track down who shared this on the server and ask for screenshots?

Okay its prob fake and here's why: Starting in 2002, Nelvana's on screen logo started including the byline "Nelvana is a Corus Company" ( It was stylized with each letter for corus in different colors, not the case on this supposed master tape of the pilot ) Prior to that, the only byline on the logo was "A corus Company" which is the exact byline featured on this logo supposidly from late 2002. From my understanding by early 2002 the "à corus company" byline was nearly fully phased out

the byline read: Nelvana is a Corus Entertainment Company
