Kidsongs is an American children's media franchise that includes Kidsongs Music Video Stories on DVD and video, the Kidsongs TV series, CDs of children's songs, songbooks, sheet music, toys and a merchandise website.[2] It was created by producer Carol Rosenstein and director Bruce Gowers of Together Again Video Productions.[3][4][5] The duo had produced and directed over 100 music videos for Warner Bros. Records and took their idea of music videos for children to the record label. Warner Brothers funded the first video, "A Day at Old MacDonald's Farm". Shortly thereafter, a three-way partnership formed between TAVP, WBR and View-Master Video, with TAVP responsible for production and WBR and View-Master responsible for distribution to video and music stores and toy stores respectively.

Development

[edit]

The home video series was launched with four Kidsongs "Music Video Stories" being announced at New York's Toy Fair in February 1986. "A Day at Old MacDonald's Farm" was one of those first four and has sold over 4 million copies[6] and won the Vira Award.[7] Each half-hour video featured around 10 songs in a music video style production starring a group of children known as the "Kidsongs Kids". They sing and dance their way through well-known children's songs, nursery rhymes and covers of pop hits from the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s—all tied together by a simple story and theme.

The TAVP/WBR/View-Master Video partnership (View-Master was acquired by Tyco Toys in 1989)[8] produced sixteen Kidsongs videotapes. In 1995, WBR and TAVP bought out Tyco's distribution rights, then produced three more View-Master videos called "Billy Biggle's Favorite Songs", "Country Sing-Along" and "Boppin' with the Biggles" on December 13, 1994 and two KidVision videos "Let's Put on a Show" and "Baby Animal Songs" were released in 1995 by WarnerVision Entertainment, another division of Time Warner.[9] In 1997, TAVP acquired Time Warner's rights to Kidsongs, assuming sole ownership of the franchise.

Later in 1997, TAVP entered into a distribution/production agreement[10] with Sony Wonder, having admired Sony's revitalization of Sesame Street's home video and music products. TAVP and Sony Wonder co-produced four more titles: "I Can Dance!", "I Can Do It!" and two "Adventures in Biggleland" on July 7, 1998 and then it specials also broadcast on public television stations. In 2002, distribution rights migrated to Image Entertainment (later RLJE Films), which continues to distribute the home videos, television series and discography soundtrack albums on CDs and audio cassettes..

The Kidsongs Television Show debuted on September 19, 1987, with 26 half-hour episodes distributed by Orbis Entertainment.[12] The half-hour, live-action episodes featured the Kidsongs Kids running their own TV show in a top 8 countdown-style show, featuring music videos from the Kidsongs home video series. It ran on network affiliates, primarily on Saturday mornings.[13] The series aired for two years in syndication, then was rerun on The Disney Channel in 1990. It won the prestigious Excellence in Children's Programming Award from ACT. The 1987–88 series was titled The Kidsongs TV Show.[14]

In 1994, a new version of the television series was developed by Rosenstein and produced in conjunction with Chicago public television station WTTW for 30 minutes and distributed by American Public Television to public television stations nationally. The Kidsongs Television Show reached 89 percent of households by 1998.[15] Many of the original Kidsongs videos were used in the public television series, along with new educational content and in-studio guests. The kids are joined by the fantasy characters Billy and Ruby Biggle and their magical friends from Biggleland. The Biggles help the children resolve their problems and concerns in a comforting, kind way. They address age-appropriate issues, such as not wanting to share, jealousy, friendship, telling the truth and patience.

Seasons one through four of The Kidsongs Television Show totaled 96 episodes. It ran on public television for seven years, winning critical acclaim.[14][16] Currently, fifteen episodes of The Kidsongs Television Show are available on DVD,[2] and the series is also available in its entirety on digital download through iTunes and Amazon Video.

The video starts off with the Kidsongs Kids singing "Ring Around the Rosie's" and "Pat-A-Cake" while playing around in the park. Dusty couldn't wait for bedtime to come, but Sandy tells Dusty that they have to wait until the kids get tired out and go home for dinner. Moments later, the Kidsongs Kids sang "A Tisket, A Tasket" and "Let Us Dance, Let Us Play". Finally, the kids went home to get ready for their dinnertime with their parents as they begin to sing "Our House".

As the parents were singing, Jimmy and his parents watched the campfire, Steven and Robby are setting up a dinner table as their parents looked out the window, Todd and Linda got a carousel as a present, Wendy and April accidentally broke their mom's dish after getting into a fight and argue about who's dish is theirs while they’re putting away the dishes and Kathy's mother made her cookies so Kathy can enjoy.

When re-printed in mid-1987, a promo for all eight Kidsongs titles shown above was seen on every video. After this, it cuts to a white screen of death with red bars on the top and bottom during the last two minutes of the tape.

This promo marked the last appearance of Mary Ann, as she did not appear in any further promos after this one.

Originally, this video was titled The Wonderful World of Sports, but from the second generation onwards, it was retitled Let's Play Ball.

The song "Rah, Rah, Sis, Boom, Bah" was supposed to appear in the 1994 season's episode of The Kidsongs Television Show, "I Can't Play Sports", but due to time constraints for that episode, the song went completely unused on the show, Also no songs from this video were ever used in Billy and Ruby's Sing and Play-Along.

He says that today that they are going out into the world as they study their world of music. Their journey started out from his Academy of Music ("Come on and Join in the Game") to Fooba Wooba John's place, where they meet Fooba Wooba John, a wacky tuba player ("Fooba Wooba John"). Professor Majorchord questions "did your hear it resonance Fooba Wooba John was able to achieve out of his tuba?". They later go to the train museum, where they go for a fantastic train ride leaded by the Stationmaster ("Down by the Station"). They also meet Pierre the artist, who couldn't decide what color to paint his picture of carousel horses, so he uses them all, thanks to Professor Majorchord and the Kidsongs Kids ("Oh, Dear! What Should the Color Be?"). The Kids rode on little red wagons pulled by older kids ("Bumpin' Up and Down (in My Little Red Wagon)") and meet Dr. Smithsonian, who knows about oceanography ("Three Little Fishies") and others in nature in the spring ("When the Green Green Grows All Around"). Professor Majorchord and the Kids sing and play with their percussion instruments ("Chickie Chickie Beat") and visits Rebecca who has a cold and is surrounded by ten other kids in bed with her ("Ten in the Bed"). Professor Majorchord tells her to get better and they'll see her back in class next week. Rebecca agrees and plops down on the bed after getting uncrowded and comments "This is more like it.". Finally, Professor Majorchord and the Kids see instruments in the fountain and Professor Majorchord comments, "I hear a finale coming on". Professor Majorchord and his friends sing and parade with instruments as they celebrate the music day to Join the Band ("Join the Band").

Unlike other Kidsongs titles, If We Could Talk to the Animals retained the KidVision cover art when Sony Wonder re-released it in 1997.

It took 14 episodes of the first season for all songs to appear on The Kidsongs Television Show.

This music video show aired on PBS as a special presentation on November 1, 1998.

The Kidsongs Television Show: Season 2 (1994)

[edit]

Plot and Synopsis: Distributed by American Public Television and produced by PBS station WTTW Chicago, a new Kidsongs television series was unveiled on January 24, 1994. It began produced broadcasting on 80% of all PBS stations in April 4-May 13, 1994. 30 episodes were made during the second season.

Starting with the TV series, Billy was introduced as a permanent Kidsongs character, then later, Rubyy, almost halfway through the season. There were also some new kids helping out with production of the show, but like the syndicated TV series, there were no new songs for the upcoming titles; just the ones from 1985 to 1993 videos.
