Rise Up, Sing Out

This show was adorable and very well-executed. The music was an earworm, but in a good way that brought a smile to my face. The whole point of the show is to spark conversations between kids and adults about issues primarily children of color do in fact experience. It approaches these very real issues that we as a society face in an uplifting manner that's perfect for kids (and let's face it - adults) to grasp. Highly recommended.

All kids media has messages spread throughout to influence them, some are about being kind, some are about self sacrifice, some are about compassion. Some of them are even about not being racist! I don't know why anyone would be mad about a kids TV show teaching kids not to be racists, unless they were racist. Cute music, animations, and voice acting. A great pass time for any child. Stay mad conservatives.

This was the absolute best thing for me to come across. I wish they had something like this when I was a kid. This is such a great way to expose people to life outside of their own. I was hooked at bonnet.

Just a truly awful show. Every time it comes on we turn the TV off because the warped messages being spouted by it are absolute trash.

I'm glad I actually watch and absorb what my child is watching on TV, because if I were a more neglectful parent I might think this show is harmless. The messages on this show do not bring ups together - they divide us and make us hate each other for daring to be human.

I'm going to have to keep a sharp eye out now when we put the Disney Channel on - if we ever do again. Please parents, actually listen to and watch the shows your children watch and understand what they're saying - don't just trust something because Disney put it out.

The only complaint I have about Rise Up Sing Out is that it's too short. It's eight episodes long, and each episode is about two minutes long. It's begging to be made into a full series. At least what we do get is pretty outstanding. The episodes tackle some kind of mature issue, whether it's racism, embracing your cultural identity, or learning to appreciate your natural beauty and creativity. For a show that's meant to be for the preschool audience, I think the episodes get the job done. The characters are also fun even if you wish you can see more from them due to the condensed time limit. They all exude really fun energy that makes you want to hang out with them. The music is also top notch. I've never heard of The Roots before, but they definitely know how to make the soundtrack stand out. So yeah, I love this show. Disney, give this the full greenlight.
