A Disney Playhouse, Imagination Movers, Villains Listening Giveaway

October 22, 2010 by Momstart 199 Comments

As a parent you can never have too much children’s music, well I mean, you can listen to too much, or get tired of something, and that’s why I say you can never have too much. A large collection of children’s music can keep you from losing your mind. I myself, never get tired of listening to Disney music. We have quite a selection of Disney music that we have purchased and try to stay up to date on our CD collection for the kids. It’s a selfish thing really.

This isn’t our absolute favorite in the playhouse Disney CD collection. I would have to say that the second CD was better, but Let’s Dance is still fun to listen to in my opinon. I love singing the songs with Zoe and Miles in the van while we’re scooting around town.

Imagination Movers Theater Tour “Live From the Idea Warehouse Concert Tour”

September 7, 2009 by Momstart 2 Comments

We’re going to see Imagination Movers in December, what a long wait for my son and daughter. I won’t tell them until closer to the actual date because they don’t understand two months away yet. I’m going to have a hard time waiting and even my husband is excited. I asked him if he wanted to take the kids or if he wanted me to host the tickets as a giveaway and he said let’s take the kids.

They will love it.

My husband and I were just sharing a story about my daughter and her dancing to their songs. Oh how our household loves Imagination Movers. Thanks to DPAC Durham Performing Arts Center we are going and we’ll share the review later, but first we wanted to share their tour dates and information with you.

Imagination Movers will launch their first-ever U.S. concert theater tour. The “Live From The Idea Warehouse Tour” will come to DPAC on October 15, 2009 @ 6:30pm. Tickets go on-sale Saturday, August 8 at 10am.

Ticket prices to see this live concert range from $10-$32. Tickets can be purchased at DPAC box office, 919.680.2787, and online at DPACnc.com. Tickets are also available through all Ticketmaster outlets.

Imagination Movers is a hit with audiences around the world, airing in over 55* countries/ territories and in 12 languages since September 2008. In the U.S., the series ranks among TV’s Top 5 programs with preschoolers 2-5 in 3Q09 to date, and year to date has reached over 46 million unduplicated Total Viewers. Globally, Imagination Movers is the #1 original Playhouse Disney series launch ever among kids and Total Viewers in Australia, and in 1Q09 ranked as the #1 series on Playhouse Disney in the UK, Denmark and Sweden, while ranking as a Top 5 series in Italy, India and the U.S.
The Imagination Movers are: Rich Collins, a former journalist and father of five; Scott Durbin, a teacher and father of two; Dave Poche, an architect and father of two; and Scott "Smitty" Smith, a New Orleans firefighter who was part of the Hurricane Katrina search and rescue effort. Imagination Movers features the blue-suited band – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty – as brain-stormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse. Each episode features five songs.
After signing to Walt Disney Records, Imagination Movers released their debut album “Juice Box Heroes” in March 2008. The CD ranked in the Top 10 on iTunes Children’s Music chart. Parenting Magazine awarded it a “Parenting Pick” and Common Sense Media recognized Imagination Movers among the Best TV of 2008, citing the quartet’s “addictive sense of humor and quest for fun.” Their new Walt Disney Records CD, "For Those About to Hop," shipped last month. The album’s smart, high-energy pop was described in the New York Times as “prized by many parents for non-condescending lyrics and music that evokes the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Imagination Movers airs weekdays at 9:30 a.m., ET/PT and weekends at 10:00 a.m., ET/PT during Disney Channel’s Playhouse Disney programming block for preschoolers. The series carries a TV-Y parental guideline.

Imagination Movers For Those about to Hop CD #giveaway

July 17, 2009 by MomStart 160 Comments

The final CD of the night of CD Giveaways is Imagination Movers new CD For Those About To Hop.

From a fuzzy mom’s memory:

Smitty My Friend He’s Playing his Guitar

Scott’s got his goggle to help him see far

Dave’s over there underneath the red hat

and My name is Rich I go rat a tat tat.

My Daughter calls them the Jump Music. We love Imagination Movers and have loved them even before they had a TV show on the Disney Channel. We loved them before Disney Records sent us their new CD to preview and giveaway to two lucky readers of Mom Start. We already have their Juice Box Heroes CD.

We love them as a family because they are about moving. We all like to dance in the living room to this music and it inspires us old people to be silly. I mean, Andrew and I aren’t old we know that, we’re probably around the same age as these guys in the band. It’s just odd to think of that. I still feel like I’m too young to be a mother let alone a mother of two.

I’m not quite sure if my husband thinks it’s car music or not but it is get up off your butt early morning music for mom and the kids. This is a band we can love and we will always purchase their CD’s. My husband wants to take the kids to Disneyworld next time they are on tour there.

Imagination Movers: For Those About to Hop

About Imagination Movers:

The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty — began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and “I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).”

To Enter:
