Twinken, The Dream Maker is a small koala-like extraterrestrial creature who only appears in "Barney's Great Adventure". He is the central focus of the said film. He is voiced by James LeBrecht.

Bio[]

According to an ancient book owned by Miss Goldfinch, Twinken is a Dream Maker, a being that comes to Earth every 1000 years. He starts life as an egg with grayish-blue colors, and over time, his egg's colored rings begin to change into bright neon colors. After the change is complete, the egg will not hatch until it is placed in the exact location where it was found. In this case, the barn belonging to Abby and Cody's grandparents.

As a Dream Maker, Twinken's purpose is to show the children of the world their dreams more clearly, the first of which is Abby. He also reveals Barney's dream and is the only one in the movie to witness his dissolving back into his doll form (albeit offscreen, since Barney turning back into a doll is always offscreen).

While Twinken doesn't speak any sort of language, he can understand others and can communicate with "ooh's", "aah's", "hmm's", and giggles.

Trivia[]

  • The backcards of several boxes of Twinken merchandise mention that he comes from "The Land of Nod". This has not been confirmed elsewhere.
  • To date, Twinken is the only character to witness Barney dissolving back into his doll form, though it was offscreen when it happened (since Barney dissolving back into his doll form is always offscreen, as there was never an instance where the said action is onscreen).
  • Even though Fig says the movie's last line, "Barney!" Twinken closes the film by cooing and winking at the viewers before the screen fades to black.
