You’ll see and hear the show’s familiar opening credits (except everything is, of course, upside down) before two Muppets appear (Carson, the butler, and the Dowager Countess). Hilarity ensues as the Dowager Countess tries to have afternoon tea…but nothing will stay put long enough! This parody will officially air on PBS on Monday, Februrary 4.
Back in April, I blogged about the deliciously funny and clever “Book People Unite” video from Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). The video showcased various literary characters (Pinocchio, Curious George, Humpty Dumpty) along with media and music celebrities (Jack Black, Regina Spektor, LeVar Burton).
Reading Is Fundamental sent me the follow-up video below, an equally fun behind-the-scenes look at the making of the original. Several cast members are interviewed, including Raggedy Andrew and a very funny Big Bad Wolf, and there are snapshots of how the magical elements came together.
If your family loves the child-friendly rock music of Imagination Movers, their new CD/DVD, “Rock-O-Matic,” will be released on February 14, 2012.

Watch a fun music video of “Everybody Sing,” the first released single from ”Rock-O-Matic,” and sing along!

We just stumbled across this video and immediately fell in love. I can’t decide if my favorite part is the little boy’s triumphant fist pump, or the little girl’s Batman shirt!
