Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme

Today is the twentieth anniversary of this movie's premier on The Disney Channel which was May 19, 1990. Although it wasn't one of the best movies I had or have ever seen I do remember watching it on this day with fond memories. Both the world at large and the Disney Channel were sooooooooo different back then, and if you ask me they played so much more positive and worthwhile roles than now. The 1980's which were the decade in which I spent my childhood had just ended, so much was left over from it and the glory and endless possibility of everything was everywhere. I also have vivid memories of the announcer of the Disney Channel announcing the best things that were upcoming and incredible series. Mother Goose Rock'N'Rhyme was as innovative as it was breathtaking and like Faerie Tale Theater (which Shelly Duvall who stares in this movie was the creator) it featured stars among the biggest of the day. I'll be back here with more later, but for now let this movie's twentieth anniversary shine!

this is an entertaining movie full of catchy tunes i found myself still singing. i wish more people had watched it so when i start singing one of the songs they would join in! my kids loved it we recorded on VHS years ago. i finally found the DVD and ordered it. when it came we watched it and realized that the DVD version was different than the version we recorded. some of our favorite songs on the recorded version are different on the DVD. what happened !!?? does anyone know how i can get the version that broadcast on Disney rather than the DVD version?? if you haven't seen the "other" version then the DVD is fine but if you have..... its a little disappointing.

i remember this movie from when i was a kid... it makes a lot more sense now, but it is an amazing movie. its a lot of fun, and if you haven't seen Debbie harry as the old woman who lives in a shoe,Cheech Merin as a carnival guy, and Paul Simon as Simple Simon, then you haven't really seen a good movie. i can only imagine how much fun that movie was to make. . . i remember watching it nearly every day after school, and i still use quotes from the movie. . . you have to see this movie if you haven't already. its not necessarily an "A" list movie, but it is a movie that is so funny, and so much fun, that even if a critic wouldn't suggest it, its too much fun to turn away from.

This has been my favorite movie ever since I was 2. My mom taped it when it aired in 1990, and I've watched it ever since. Watching it over and over again makes it the funniest movie I've ever seen. I recommend this to children and even adults because it is very entertaining. Believe it or not, there are many famous people in this movie as well.

Mere words cannot justify the meaning and social commentary that this film makes. It personifies the isolated feeling from "reality" that all humans feel from time to time, and as a bonus does so with our favorite pop culture sock, movie and TV stars! Where else can you see Cyndi Lauper with, Pia Zedora, Katey Sagal, Harry Anderson (sorry, no magic tricks), Paul Simon, The Stray Cats, Art Garfunkel, ZZ Top, and Woody Harrelson dressed as a cigar smoking sheep? Maybe in Rhymeland...
