What's the Story?

DANCE & SING WITH TRUE is a compilation of short music videos featuring songs from True and the Rainbow Kingdom as well as some original music. There is no dialogue or plot development, but viewers can piece together the basics of the characters' situations and intentions with the song lyrics and the on-screen action set in the colorful and inviting world of Rainbow Kingdom. As True (voiced by Michela Luci) and the other whimsical residents of Rainbow Kingdom sing together, they also demonstrate friendship, empathy, and helpfulness to each other.

Is It Any Good?

Parents say: Not yet rated
Kids say: Not yet rated

True and the Rainbow Kingdom fans will enjoy this musical recap of some of the vibrant show's highlights (with a few new tunes mixed in). For viewers who are new to the characters, it's a fun introduction to the sights and sounds of the delightful place that Rainbow Kingdom is. The music is engaging and relevant to kids' experiences, emphasizing acts of kindness and friendship that occur in the clips. What's more, it's a lot of fun to listen to and not nearly as wearisome as some kids' tunes can be for parents.

Even with no story to follow in the traditional sense, kids will have an easy time understanding how the lyrics match the characters' actions in Dance & Sing with True. That said, the shorts' promotional impact can't be avoided, as they're a very effective advertisement for the parent series.
