"Mr. Turkey Feathers Counts to 10" is on this disc? Sweet!!!
This is another release from Thingamakid, a studio that sounds like it's in the business of building adoptable children out of old stereo parts and selling them on the black market, but actually delivers compendiums of music and cartoons for the wee ones. Their releases carry a theme that ties the hubbub together (they also put out Action Bible Tunes, a Sunday School-themed set) and this bad boy is all about the toddlers. Here's the lineup:
* "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"
* "The Butterfly
Song"
* "Mr. Turkey Feathers Counts to 10!"
*
"The Wheels on the Bus"
* "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
* "Pop! Goes the Weasel!"
* "Meet the Shapes
Family"
* "This Old Man"
* "The Bear Went Over
the Mountain"
* "Eensy, Weensy Spider"
* "Colors
of the Rainbow"
* "Old MacDonald"
* "Alphabet
Animals (the ABC Song)"
"Mr. Turkey Feathers Counts to 10" (a classic), "Meet the Shapes Family," and "Colors of the Rainbow" are exempted from the karaoke treatments, being stand-alone bits of short animation.
The DVD is supplemented with a CD, which features these killer tracks:
* "The Muffin Man"
* "Head, Shoulders, Knees and
Toes"
* "Roll Over"
* "The Butterfly
Song"
* "The Wheels on the Bus"
* "Mary Had a
Little Lamb"
* "Pop! Goes the Weasel!"
* "Polly
Put the Kettle On"
* "Looby Loo"
* "Baa Baa
Blach Sheep"
* "This Old Man"
* "The Bear Went
Over the Mountain"
* "Eensy, Weensy Spider"
*
"Old MacDonald"
* "Alphabet Animals (the ABC
Song)"
Not much to say here. Thinkamakid does a good job with these discs, and the bonus audio CD is a sweet little extra. The animation is simple, but fun to look at and the songs are all presented well. The karaoke options give the kids plenty of opportunity to simultaneously practice their reading and screaming at the top of their lungs. A solid collection of favorites, executed with panache.
