Show Synopsis
Welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of Viva Piñata! Here on the colorful and picturesque Isle de Piñata, or Piñata Island as normal people call it, all manner of colorful, candy-filled piñatas live, dance, and grow. Their fondest wish: to entertain at a birthday party as only Piñatas can! Well, that's the fondest wish of most piñatas...
PARTY TIME!
From the honey-happy buzzlegum to the fire-breathing dragonache, the gardens of Piñata Island are teeming with every kind of piñata you can imagine, and several that you can't! They spend their days eating treats and living the sweet life. Once they reach MAXIMUM CANDIOSITY they report to Piñata Central where they are sent off to delight party-lovers everywhere in the traditional piñata way - by allowing themselves to be bashed open by bat-wielding revelers!
Then the busted open piñata heads back to Piñata Island to do it all over again!
Ah, what fun!

There's a place where everything's sweeter

Supporting Piñatas

Langston Lickatoad
As official representative for Piñata Central, Langston takes his job as Piñata Wrangler very seriously. There are lots of parties out there in the world just waiting for a fun, candy-filled piñata, and it's Langston's job to see that the right piñata goes to the right party, in as professional and orderly manner as possible. Of course, with characters like Fergy and Paulie screwing with Langston's carefully worked out piñata line-up, things never go as smoothly as he planned. That's why Fergy and Paulie are now on the top of Langston's list. Nothing would give him more satisfaction than stuffing these two scoff-party-piñatas into the cannonata and firing them off to the biggest piñata BASH he can find!
-
Pecky Pudgeon
As the top correspondent for Piñata Island's #1 newspaper, "The Piñata Yada Yada," this paparazzi pigeon has an uncanny beak for news. Pecky will follow any lead, dish any dirt, and shadow any celebrity to get a big scoop or shoot a Pulitzer-winning photo. Pecky's not afraid of ruffling a few feathers. More than once Pecky has had his camera broken, his wing dinged, and his beak busted. When asked about what happened the ace reporter's standard response: "See page six!"
-
Simone Cinnamonkey
Simone Cinnamonkey is Hudson Horstachio's wheeling and dealing manager and agent. Sure, Hudson can be insufferable, boorish, juvenile, and yes, she has to cater to his every little urge and annoying whim, but being the agent of the biggest, most fabulous piñata superstar ever makes her big and fabulous as well! Simone's phone is ringing off the hook and she barely has time to take on other clients. She's often seen talking on three phones at the same time - a phone in each hand and the third held by her tail!
-
Pierre Parrybo
Pierre is a feisty, fiery, fiercely French-accented piñata. A minor celebrity on the island, Pierre is often asked to officiate at various contests, fairs, pageants, etc.. This is odd when you consider that between his heavy French accent and his unique mangling of the English language, Pierre is terribly hard to understand.
Pierre also has a call-in radio show that is very popular on Piñata Island. Piñata Celebrities like Hudson, and... well, Hudson... often come by to chat with Pierre and take questions from callers.
Pierre is also the island's #1 DJ, and can be found spinning ze discs at many of Piñata Island's most popular clubs and biggest celebrations. -
The Bonboon
Considered by many to be the wisest of the wise, the Piñata known only as "The Bonboon" sits in tranquil meditation under the shade of the oldest tree in the garden... next to the outhouse. Piñatas come to the Bonboon seeking answers to life's biggest questions, like "Why am I here? What is true Happiness? Why did the Cluckle cross the road?" The Bonboon always has an answer... and that answer usually involves giving him all your candy, cleaning his house, giving him a full body massage, etc. You see, what the piñatas don't realize is that the Bonboon is not so much a wise man as he is a con man! After seeing him you best check that your wallet hasn't been stolen!
-
Dr. Quincy Quackberry
Some call him a quack, others swear he's a miracle worker, but no matter what you believe, Quincy Quackberry is the only psychologist in the garden. Quackberry is called upon to cure everything from Piñatapartyphobia to Confetti-itis, and the good doctor is more than willing to dive right in - whether he's medically qualified or not! He's either the world's most accomplished piñata medical authority, or he's the world's greatest snake oil salesman. Whatever the truth is, take two gooseberries and call him in the morning!
-
Shirley Shellybean
She is far and away the slowest Piñata on the island, but Shirley Shellybean doesn't seem to be aware of her extreme and near-complete lack of speed. Many times Shirley and the gang will start out on an adventure together, but pretty quickly the others have left her far behind, and by episode's end, Shirley has only just barley moved a few feet, still enthusiastically chattering, "C'mon gang! Let's get this show on the road!"

Professor Pester & The Ruffians
(The Villains! Boo! Hiss!)
While Fergy and Paulie spend much time and energy avoiding Piñata Central, there is a much greater danger that threatens all of Piñata Island: the piñata poaching Professor Pester and his Ruffian henchmen!
Well... okay.. maybe not great danger...
Professor Pester fancies himself a criminal mastermind and develops exceedingly complex and elaborate machinations for capturing piñatas, but in truth he may be the most bungling bad guy in the history of evil! With painstaking detail and Shatner-like acting, Pester describes his diabolical plans to his dimwitted, uncomprehending underlings, the Ruffians. But clearly the plan is flawed and, regardless, the Ruffians can't grasp a word of it, and before you know it Pester finds himself trapped in his own contraption while the piñatas remain free and the Ruffians laugh and leap about. Inevitably Pester insists "I have no regrets!" ... but somehow methinks he doth protest too much.

Everything You Need to Know About Piñata Island
-
Piñata Island
Piñata Island is the only place in the entire world where piñatas live and grow. This is the place these crepe paper creatures call home. You won't find it on a map, but its ideal location insures that a Piñata can reach any party on any continent.
-
Piñata Central
Piñata Central is the most important place on all of Piñata Island. It's the place that receives the requests for piñatas to attend parties all over the world. It's the place that double checks each and every piñata to make sure they are party-ready (checking candiosity levels, honing smiles, fluffing paper tags, etc.). It's the place that transports piñatas to parties quickly and accurately via their patented CANNONATA delivery system. And it's the place the party-battered piñatas return to for all party inflicted repairs.
-
Cannonata
The piñatas travel to their various party destinations by way of the Cannonata. The Cannonata is a sophisticated array of high-powered cannons mounted atop Piñata Central. Inside the Party Control Room piñatas are loaded into the various Cannonata Bays, coordinates are punched in, the RED BUTTON is pressed, and faster than you can say "It's party time!" BOOM! The piñata is blasted off to the appropriate party! Ain't technology wonderful?!
-
Candiosity Meter
How does a piñata know when it's full enough to go to a party? Why, the Candiosity Meter of course. The official Piñata Island Candiosity Meter stands at the base of Piñata Central. Piñatas hoping to be sent to a party step onto the device's base, much like how you would get up on a scale. A battery of tests are run in a matter of seconds, including piñata-weight, x-rays, and complex candy-stacking equations, and the results appear on the readout screens above: a happy face with a green check mark means that a piñata has achieved MAXIMUN CANDIOSITY and will immediately be going to a party. A frowning face accompanied by a big red X means the piñata is REJECTED.
Certain piñatas, like Hudson Horstachio (piñata superstar) have their own home versions of the Candiosity Meter. Langston Lickatoad, the official Piñata Wrangler and employee of Piñata Central, has a handheld version that he takes with him as he checks on piñatas throughout the garden. -
Piñatameter
No one on Piñata Island remembers who invented it, but the Piñatameter has quickly become the most popular gadget on Piñata Island. This little handheld device acts as a phone, appointment book, global positioning system, portable music player, gaming system, movie viewer, photo-viewer, web-browser, c-mail provider, and candiosity meter.
