What Parents Need to Know

About For Those About to Hop

Parents need to know that this album is from the new guys on the block at the Disney Channel, the Imagination Movers, (recognized as a Best of TV 2008 pick by us!) so get ready to rock, jump, and roll to kids' music that's worthy of any age. With sounds reminiscent of 80s and 90s alt-rock bands like Pavement and The Barenaked Ladies, the music is fun, somewhat educational (encouraging imagination, movement, learning colors, etc.) and touches on common kiddo reality checks of sunblock and being afraid of the dark.
