Wee Sing in Sillyville

Like, kudos to those that made this. I was born in 1988, my mother had this at home, my sister and I watched it all the time. I'm 32 and still remember every single song. Yea... My kids are gonna be watching this gem.

While this movie may seem corny and overacted to some, preschoolers are completely enthralled. The songs are silly and repetitive, which children up to the age of 5 or 6 absolutely love, and older teens and adults will remember as favorite camp songs (with some minor alterations to lyrics). The scenery and costumes are brilliantly colored and imaginative, with balloon trees, talking trees and rocks, singing reeds, etc. The song and dance numbers are performed by a mixture of live actors, marionettes, and puppets. The premise of the story is that the citizens of Sillyville, identified by the colors of their outfits, have decided that they will no longer talk to citizens of different colors. Two children travel around with the Sillywhim meeting the citizens of Sillyville and listening to their songs, while they try to solve the problem, and bring the citizens of Sillyville back together. I always bring this movie with me when I babysit, and it's never failed to enchant.

I've been watching this movie ever since it came out, and I never forgot the songs or anything. No joke, I went through a period where I watched it at least once a day, and a few years after I was out of that phase, my little sister got into to. I'm 20 now, a sophomore in college, and my roommate and I were talking about this childhood classic. We poked around on the internet for awhile and... well, we just finished watching it on YouTube in 11 parts. Totally worth it too. The songs are fun and easy to sing, completely memorable, and I'll be sitting through this while my kids watch it a billion times too. Rizzle dee razzle dee mau mau mau... My other roommate is looking at us like we just sprouted extra heads. That is something I can live with.

I work at a day care and this movie is a gem. You can only take watching the Wiggles, Blue's Clues, or Dora

the Explorer so many times. This movie never gets old though. The younger kids love the colors and dancing

and the older kids sing and dance right along with it. And it's something that the caretakers get into. I'm nineteen

and I seriously come home at the end of the day singing about Michael Finegin and the Yodeling Austrian. And

then throw in the moral lesson about prejudices. They really don't make kids' shows like this any more. If you

have kids, get this video. It's awesome! <3 - Sarah J

For the last year my friend has been telling me I HAVE to watch Wee Sing in Sillyville. I had never seen it before. We finally watched it last night and oh it did not disappoint. The beginning features incredible child and dog acting (shoutout Barney, woof!). Some of the songs absolutely slap -- "Do your ears hang low?; "Boom, Boom, Ain't it Great to be Crazy"; "I'm a nut."

The film slowed down a bit in the second act; some of the songs were repetitive and the writers were playing fast and loose with the plot. But after "Bitty Boop Bop" the third act picked up some real momentum. The last 15 minutes wrapped everything together with strong performances from Sillywhim and the supporting cast. Overall, it made me want to find a coloring book and find my Sillyville! Highly recommend to all viewers, young and old!
