Why We Rated This on for Ages 3 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The Movers are the ultimate team players -- they're always willing to lend a helping hand and are respectful of one another's ideas and suggestions. The series teaches kids to think creatively to solve problems, and the band's upbeat songs expose young viewers to a variety of musical sounds and encourage them to get up and move along.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Not an issue.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The Movers have a selection of CDs available, so young fans may ask for those after watching the show.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Imagination Movers

Parents need to know that, like The Wiggles, this series stars a lively musical quartet whose tunes are catchy and kid-friendly, so young fans might start asking for the band's CDs after hearing the songs. (At least in this case, parents probably won't mind listening to them over and over...) The Movers will win kids over with their silly antics, but they back up the silliness with positive messages about teamwork, respect for others, and creative problem solving.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the Movers' problem-solving skills and how they apply to kids' own experiences. Kids: When have you encountered a problem that you've had to solve? How did you feel about tackling it? Did you ask for help? If so, from whom? How did you come up with ideas for solving the problem? Did they work? What would you do differently the next time you're faced with a similar situation?

    The Imagination Movers are fantastic!

    The Imagination Movers are fantastic! My son loves them. They encourage kids to use their imaginations and to see problem-solving as fun. Their music is so good that I even listen to it in the car when my son isn't there. Better than the Wiggles because they have a consistent theme throughout the show and don't skip around. I like their music better, too.

    Wonderful Show for kids and adults

    My grandson and I absolutely love the Imagination Movers. He sings and dances with them...and is not just sitting there staring mindlessly at the tv. I have some of the music downloaded on my MP3 player and I listen to it at work...I have a hard time sitting still while their music is playing. This is a wonderful show..Everyone should watch it!
