We the People

I would consider myself a pretty strong conservative but I like to think I have an open mind. I did my best to watch this with open mind a put aside my intial bias.

That being said, this was way over politicized and it didn't have to be. The information was decent, especially for children, but it was so clearly written from a progressive prospective. The majority of the show was fine but there were obvious overtones to BLM and anti gun beliefs. These ideas weren't the main focus, thankfully but they didn't need to be there.

I gave this 3 stars because I HATE the idea of trying to influence children to believe one way or another which this is trying to do. Again, the vast majority of the information is fine, it's just the creators added political overtones that did not have to be there, hence the three stars.

Was this supposed to be about we the people in the United States of America? Pretty poor interpretation of America's Constitution and Bill of Rights. I couldn't even get past the third episode. The Declaration of Independence (not dependency), Constitution and Bill of Rights was written so that the common Man even if they could not read, could be read this and completely understood its full meanings. Educational but in my opinion it's teach people that the government is there to help you in all aspects of your life.

From an aesthetics and musical pov it's great but it simply does not educate to the level that every American SHOULD have of their government. This would've been so much better if it wasn't a musical but instead a 10 hour miniseries on government structure while still making it entertaining.

This easy to watch series of music videos focuses on individual empowerment, and citizenship. It is clearly corporate art, but still enjoyable when you overlook that. The animation and music is all good and pretty for it's genre, though that depends on personal taste. The "Immigration" song bops, but gets repetitive. I must note that the majestic and energetic "Bill of Rights" song, and the roaring "Three Branches of Government" song are both real bangers (although, there are many things to be said about the depiction of Supreme Court justices as ethereal beings). The visual storytelling of "The First Amendment" is understandable to anyone who's had their right to speak freely threatened.

This show has been described as a modern-day Schoolhouse Rock and they're absolutely right.

'We the People' features unique animation in every single episode. From psychedelic visuals, to photo-animation similar to Monty Python, to a lo-fi aesthetic. Every episode brings something new to the table.

And it's the same with the music. Each episode has a different music artist sing about different parts of the constitution, bill of rights, and so on. My favorite episode is the one on the Bill of Rights. Adam Lambert is one of my favorite artists and Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez managed to create an upbeat, catchy, rocking description of the first 10 amendments.

This is definitely educational and I think teachers should show it in classrooms, the kids will love it.
