  Film / Wee Sing

  Wee Sing is a series of children's direct-to-video musical films created by two elementary music teachers, Pam Beall and Susan Nipp, consisting of various children's songs being strung together with a cohesive plot.

  The series initially started out as a series of songbooks in 1977, the first of which was titled "Wee Sing Children�s Songs and Fingerplays". In 1981, the series would add audio cassette tapes to the books as companion pieces, with the books becoming more or less lyric sheets.

  This was taken one step further in 1985, when the first Wee Sing video, Wee Sing Together, was produced, beginning a series of videos that continued until 1996 with the release of Wee Singdom.

  • Wee Sing Together (1985)
  • King Cole's Party (1987)
  • Grandpa's Magical Toys (1988)
  • Wee Sing in Sillyville (1989)
  • The Best Christmas Ever! (1990)
  • Wee Sing in the Big Rock Candy Mountains (1991)
  • Wee Sing in the Marvelous Musical Mansion (1992)
  • The Wee Sing Train (1993)
  • Wee Sing Under the Sea (1994)
  • Wee Singdom: The Land of Music and Fun! (1996)
  • Wee Sing Favorites: Classic Songs for Kids (1996)
  • Wee Sing Favorites: Animal Songs (1996)

  Through the power of music, the characters motivate children to sing, dance, and play along, providing a multi-sensory experience that enhances their learning experience. The magical aspect of Wee Sing Together lies in its ability to transport children to different worlds and scenarios through music. Whether it's exploring a farm, going on a pirate adventure, or traveling to outer space, each song takes the children on an exciting journey, stimulating their imagination and fostering creativity.

  These films include examples of:

  • Accidental Misnaming: Grandpa in Grandpa's Magical Toys feigns this by repeatedly calling David "Leonard," in an attempt to get the shy boy to talk by correcting him. Also played straight in Marvelous Musical Mansion when Aunty Annabella first meets Kelly: she goes through several names before she gets it right.
  • Adaptational Name Change: In the original songbook and album Wee Sing for Christmas, the song about a clumsy elf in Santa's workshop is called "Alfie the Elf." In the video version, The Best Christmas Ever, the elf's name is Gusty, with the song changed accordingly. Also, in The Big Rock Candy Mountains, Little Bunny Foo Foo's bopping victims are called the Meecy Mice instead of just plain "field mice."
  • Adapted Out: King Cole's Party is based on the songbook and album Wee Sing Nursery Rhymes and Lullabies, where the main little boy character who gives King Cole his own blanket as a gift is Georgie Porgie. But King Cole's Party omits both the character and his rhyme, and Jack of "Jack and Jill" fame becomes the blanket-giver.
  • Added Alliterative Appeal: Shows up all over the place. It'd be easier to name characters without it.
  • Adipose Rex: The Big Fun King Cole in King Cole's Party.
  • Adults Are Useless: In Marvelous Musical Mansion, Auntie Annabella ends up locked outside when she's unable to come up with the answer to Doorknocker's riddle (though she does learn that no one entered or left the house through the front door, which proves that someone inside the mansion committed the crime), while Uncle Rubato solely investigates the dining room—which is the one place where nothing suspicious happened. It falls to the kids to find all of the clues and actually solve the crime.
  • The Ageless: The end of Grandpa's Magical Toys implies that the toys in the playroom are immortal. Punchinello remarks that "he's been around a long time," and first helped Peter's grandfather—a man in his seventies—when he was Peter's age. Justified since they're toys.
  • All Just a Dream: "King Cole's Party" was all Jack's dream.
  • Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: Most of the Big Rock Candy Mountains animals and many of the Under the Sea creatures sport bright colors not found in their species in real life. In the case of Under the Sea, Weeber the Penguin's strange blue color is a plot point. Likewise, Melody Mouse in Wee Sing Together is pink (justified, since she's a Living Toy), and the Harmonies in Wee Singdom are ladybugs with bright purple bodies.
  • Ambiguously Human: Sillywhim of Wee Sing in Sillyville looks human enough, but she also demonstrates the ability to teleport whenever she likes. She can also use her music-note bubble blower to generate rainbows which can teleport other things, turn individuals invisible, and perform minor telekinesis (as demonstrated when she knocks the Twirlypops for a loop). Sillywhim is also something of a Fisher King, as her clothing's colors are inherently tied to the level of friendship in Sillyville—when the populace fights, the hues fade to black and white. As such, it's not entirely clear what she is, which is perhaps justified by her being a coloring book character.
  • Ambiguously Related: It's never stated if Benji from "Marvelous Musical Mansion" was adopted, Alex's step sibling or blood related brother. Unlike Susie in "The Best Christmas Ever!" where the viewers can tell she's adopted as everyone in her family is Caucasian, we only see their father and the mother is never shown.
  • An Aesop: Each film features a "main" moral with a few smaller ones sprinkled along the way.
    • Wee Sing Together: As Sally tells Melody at the end, "When birthday magic is in the air, the very best times are the ones that you share."
    • King Cole's Party: The thought behind a gift, not how expensive it is, matters most.
    • Grandpa's Magical Toys: No matter how old you become, you should always be young at heart.
    • Wee Sing in Sillyville: Disliking people because of their colors or preferences is a foolish thing to do.
    • The Best Christmas Ever!: People have different physical needs that should be accommodated.
    • The Big Rock Candy Mountains: Listen to others when they set boundaries and learn to cooperate.
    • The Marvelous Musical Mansion: Don't compare yourself to others—you're special in your own way.
    • The Wee Sing Train: Don't be heedless—take your time and think things through.
    • Under the Sea: Don't pollute or make fun of people different than you.
    • Wee Singdom: Be responsible.
    • On a more video-specific level: In The Big Rock Candy Mountains, Profster spouts constant Aesops in the form of adages, much to the confusion of the other characters. Felicity initially serves as a translator—to the point where her catchphrase is "What Profster means is. "(Two times she says, �That�s right, Lisa� instead, and one time she says, �In other words��)—but for the last three Aesops, the other characters are now able to understand them on their own, though Bunny Foo Foo and Lisa still offer their interpretations. Humorously, though, when Profster cries Tears of Joy at the fly and bumblebee's wedding, even Felicity can't figure out a moral.
    • The Wee Sing Train features a frog who claims to be a prince and is always trying to get Princess Jennie Jenkins to kiss him. Eventually she does and breaks the spell.
    • "Outrageous!" - Jonathan from Wee Sing Together.
    • "I knew that" - Scott from Wee Sing in Sillyville.
    • "This calls for muffins!' - the Muffin Man from Grandpa's Magical Toys.
    • "Superrific!" by Tusky/Trunky the Elephant.
    • "Sing-a-ling-a-ling!" by Singaling in all his appearances.
    • Series composer Cal Scott plays many roles throughout the series, usually voicing a puppet.
    Jonathan: I'm gonna go to my closet and get some clothes! (runs off) Sally: Jonathan's closet?! (covers her ears) (loud crash)
    • It was shot on film instead of videotape.
    • It was released two years after Wee Sing Together. Videos succeeding that would get released once per year.
    • It is the only video (until Wee Singdom) to not be composed by Cal Scott; King Cole's Party was composed by Bill Scream.
    • The whole plot is a dream by Jack with only the magical elements happening in the dream. Other videos are either blatant with the magical elements happening in real life or it's left ambiguous if the events actually happened or were just the imaginations of the kids.
    • Sillywhim, in keeping with her exuberant Woman Child character.
    • Both the Dutch Girl and Maggie the Rag Doll in Grandpa's Magical Toys have pigtails too, as dolls often do.
    • Several of the little girls in the series � Sally and Christina in Wee Sing Together, Jill in King Cole's Party, Biffy Bitty Booty in Wee Sing in Sillyville, Nellie in The Best Christmas Ever and Casey in The Wee Sing Train � have them too.
    Alex: Do you have to make a mystery out of everything? Kelly: Life is a mystery, Alex.
    • In Marvelous Musical Mansion, Uncle Rubato's music box collection includes a one-man band, a tap-dancing group of a cappella singers, a quintet orchestra, and. a ballerina. The last definitely makes an impression as the only box not centered on song in some way, although she does sing while she dances. Tellingly, it's the ballerina's scarf that gets stolen during the mansion's crime wave, which also stands out as the only purely decorative item that goes missing (and makes Uncle Rubato's claim that she can't dance without it seem a little silly).
    • In The Wee Sing Train, the setting has a general country and western theme, with cowboys, a frontier town, a farm, various animals. and a castle with a fairy-tale princess and her enchanted frog prince. Yet just like all the other characters, the last two also sing classic American folk songs.
    • Aunty Annabella in Marvelous Musical Mansion.
    • The jester in King Cole's Party is also prone to Spoonerisms.
    • Subverted by Grandpa in Grandpa's Magical Toys; since Punchinello helped Peter's grandfather when he was a child; he knows the toys are alive and figures out by the presence of gold dust from the music box that Peter, David and Sarah visited them.
    • Also subverted by the parents in The Best Christmas Ever, who go with the kids to Santa's workshop, and by Uncle Rubato and Aunty Annabella in Marvelous Musical Mansion, who openly use a magical hand gesture to activate his music boxes.
    • Rubato means "played freely and loosely," and Uncle Rubato has the power to levitate, freeing himself from gravity's pull.
    • The Tap-A-Capella Singers are all named for different indicators of tempo and volume: Ally Allegro (quickly), Lawrence Largo (slowly), Flo Fortissimo (very loudly), Peter Pianissimo (very softly).
    • The cheerful rodent who chimes the hour in the grandfather clock is Meter Mouse. Meter is the tempo at which a piece is played—in other words, both musical meter and Meter Mouse mark the time.
    Foo Foo: What's the problem? (Looks at his hand and it dawns on him) Oops!
    • The Spurdlegurgles of Sillyville speak exclusively in rhymes; it also doubles as Finishing Each Other's Sentences, as there are four of them, and they simply pass the rhyme from one to the next.
    • The stuffed animals of Grandpa's Magical Toys largely speak in rap.
    • Doorknocker in Marvelous Musical Mansion both only talks in verse and gives rhyming riddles to anyone who tries to enter the house.
    • Similarly, in the same movie, Cadenza playfully bats at a small object when the kids find themselves stumped by the mystery at hand. It's Andy Bandy's missing shoe, which proves to be the clue that ties everything together.
    Snoodle: Why are you crying? Profster: I always cry when I'm happy. Doodle: Well, what do you do when you're sad? Profster. Cry. "Gusty!" "Poofer!" "Dimpie!" "Snooter!" "Munchie!" "Thooner!" "THAT'S US!"
    • Uncle Rubato in Marvelous Musical Mansion has a tendency to add the word "marvelous" into his sentences.
    • Dermie in The Best Christmas Ever says everything twice.
    • The four Smith kids in The Best Christmas Ever are named Will, Nellie, Johnny and Susie: i.e. the "Johnny," "Susie" and "Nellie" mentioned in the song "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" and the "Little Nell" and "Little Will" mentioned in "Up On the Housetop." If any viewer doesn't get it right away, it becomes clear when the songs are actually sung.
    • In Marvelous Musical Mansion, Alex and Benji reminisce about Aunty Annabella's travels to Japan, Algiers and Holland, before they break into a rendition of "My Aunt Came Back."

    Reviews for "Wee Sing Together: The Perfect Musical Experience for Kids"

    1. John - 1 star - This movie was a total disappointment. The songs were cheesy and the storyline was extremely predictable. The animation was also dated and looked like it was made in the 80s. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone looking for a high-quality musical experience.

    2. Sarah - 2 stars - I found "Wee Sing Together a Magical Musical" to be quite boring. The plot was simple and lacked depth, making it difficult to stay engaged throughout the movie. Additionally, the constant singing felt forced and repetitive. I was hoping for more substance and creativity, but was ultimately left disappointed.

    3. Mark - 1 star - The characters in this film were annoying and the songs were unbearable. I found myself cringing at the over-the-top performances and cheesy lyrics. The plot was predictable and didn't offer anything new or exciting. Overall, this movie was a waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    4. Emily - 2 stars - "Wee Sing Together a Magical Musical" had good intentions, but fell short in execution. The songs were catchy, but their frequency throughout the movie became tiresome. The storyline was too simplistic and lacked depth, making it hard to stay engaged. I had higher hopes for this musical, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.

    5. David - 1 star - I couldn't stand watching "Wee Sing Together a Magical Musical". The songs were repetitive, the animation was poor, and the characters were unappealing. The plot was unoriginal and didn't offer any surprises. I found myself losing interest quickly and couldn't wait for the movie to end. Definitely not worth the time.
