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 "Let's Put on a Show" and "Baby Animal Songs" were released in 1996 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" specials also broadcast in television syndication. In 2002, distribution rights migrated to Image Entertainment (later RLJE Films), which continues to distribute the videos.

The Kidsongs Television Show debuted on September 19, 1987, with 26 half-hour episodes distributed by Orbis Entertainment.[13] 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.[14] 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.[15]

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.[16] 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.[15][17] 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.
