Rockin' to the Imagination Movers!

This is my son's latest, most favorite show, and it's on the Disney channel. For once, I can actually tolerate a daytime child's show without wanting to slam my head into a wall. This is a show for mom's who cannot even stand 5 seconds of Barney, and who feel they might need to throw the TV out if they see one more episode of most of what's on NOGGIN lately — and this is coming from a mom who used to like Noggin's programming! I liked The Upside Down Show, and 64 Zoo Lane is wonderful (though you need to DVR it or tape it since it's only on in the middle of the night, or rather, the pitch black morning), and I'll admit that at first I thought Little Bear was totally "faggy," but I like the show now that I've paid attention and gave it an honest chance, and like it even more when it's calm, kind stories put my son to sleep for nap time. But if I see some of the other shows one more time, I might need sedation. ;) Noggin shouldn't have put LazyTown on in the morning; my son hates it. He doesn't care for Franklin either. But Noggin putting Lazytown in the 10am slot made me have to find a show for my son's after breakfast lazy time, and that's how we found The Imagination Movers, so thank you, Noggin, for changing the line-up and making us change the channel!

You can go to Disney's website for the Movers if you want more info, check out the bios, see videos, hear songs from the show or just sit with your child in the Kids Only section.

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.

Mover live shows are instant parties. "There's no guitar solos or fancy playing, but by trial and error, and by playing 250+ shows all over the country, we've figured out our identity and created the prototype for what we hope will be this big, multiple 18-wheeler arena rock concert for kids and parents. We basically want to take the Van Halen 1979 World Tour production values and do it for kids," sayeth Mover Rich.

So . . . catch the Movers on satellite radio as they are on heavy rotation on XM, Sirius and now - Radio Disney. On XM, they have launched five songs to the top of the charts, including the recent No. 1 hit "Farm." But they don't stop there - IM has cracked college radio charts at Emerson College, Drexel University, Rice University, Muhlenberg College and others. The Movers have even gone international: their music is played on digital radio throughout England and Canada; and Happy Rainbow in Beijing, China.

They've also won 14 national music awards and were named a Parenting Pick by Parenting Magazine, and won a John Lennon Songwriting Contest award for the song "Looking Out the Window." An ongoing tour of U.S. cities creates new Movers fans (affectionately known as Gearheads) in the wake of every show.

Movers audio and video encourages kids to reach high, think big, work hard and have fun! The Movers themselves are leading by example as they captivate new fans daily with their winning sound and style.
