Wee Sing in Sillyville

It’s of course dated, but has been a family favorite for all of our kids. I loved this video when I was a kid, too 😜

"Wee Sing in Sillyville" has to be, without a doubt, the best singing DVD you would ever purchase for your pre-schooler! There are so many entertaining songs and, what is more, it teaches a very valuable lesson: that no matter what color you are (literally), you can still be friends with the other color. More people should listen to that. Think about what Dr. Martin Lurther King Jr. had to say and do in his "I have a dream" speech! Imagine someone not liking you just because they are wearing red and you are wearing yellow. That is the situation we face in "Wee Sing in Sillyville."So, here is what happens. The show starts off with these two children coloring a coloring book of Sillyville (little do they know that they are actually coloring Sillywhim, our title character). Barney, their dog is playing with them too. Then they break into a song called "Do your ears hang low?" because of Barney's ears. Then as they are playing, Sillywhim magically transports Barney into her coloring book, a.k.a. Sillyville. The children, known as Laurie and Scott (brother and sister), are looking for Barney but cannot find him. Finally, they find him in the coloring book and Sillywhim transports them into Sillyville (the coloring book).So, now we are in Sillyville. Sillyville is like The Emerald City from "The Wizard of Oz" in that everything, and I mean everything, is colorful. The two children meet the Yellow Spurtlegurgles (from behind a tree) first and hear them sing a song. After that, they meet Sillywhim who explains all about how they got into Sillyville, who the Spurtlegurgles are and how no colors want to talk to any other color. Now, it must be noted that Sillywhim is dressed all in the color of white. She notices that Laurie and Scott are too colorful to meet any other colors, so she makes the children invisible.Now the children go on to meet the Blue Twilrypops, who are singing yet another song by Sillyville's main area. They finish that song then they sing another song with Sillywhim. After that, Sillywhim tries to get them follow along with them to their next stop, but they say no because their next stop is too green.So, on we go to to the pond where Laurie and Scott, still invisible, meet the Green Jinglehimers. They sing one song and then they hear the croaking of the frogs that live in the pond. Of course, since the frogs are green, the Jinglehimers go to watch the frogs sing. There are three frogs and they sing two songs. After that is over, Sillywhim ask the Jinglehimers and the frogs if they want to continue on with her to her next stop, but they say no because it is too red. Oh well.So, Laurie and Scott, still invisible, arrive at the Red Bettiebotties house. It is a family home with a Mom, a Dad, a Brother, a Sister, and a little baby. The house lights up when the Bettiebotties sing (and that is why this is my favorite part of the whole movie). The first song is sung by the whole family (except the baby). The second and final song is sung by the Brother and the Sister only, but they do a wonderful job. After that is finished, Sillywhim asks them if they want to go with her to visit Posha, but the Father says that purple Posha wears might be too much for the baby, so they stay home and say bye bye to Sillywhim.On they way to Posha's house, they step on an acorn in the grass who sings a song about him being a nut. Sillywhim reminds Laurie and Scott that "That's Sillyville for you, anything could happen," and they continue on to Posha's house.Now Posha is extremely, and I do mean extremely nice. She is so nice, if she was a candy bar, I could get a cavity just looking at her! So, Laurie and Scott did not need to be invisible with her. She loved colors and she had them all in her house. She was like a grandmother of Sillyville. There were 4 or 5 songs sung in that house alone, but don't worry, they are short and sweet. Sillywhim is asking Posha if she knows of any way to reunite the colors and Posha shakes her head saying that she bumped into a Yellow Spurtlegurgle the other day and he/she would not even say hi to her (because she was wearing purple probably).So, they leave Posha's house and know Sillywhim, Laurie and Scott are tring to think up how to reunite the colors. Everywhere they go, nobody is around. They say things like, "What if we...no that wouldn't work" and "There's always...no".Finally, like lightning out of the clouds, Sillywhim has an idea while they are standing by where the Blue Twilrypops had been singing earlier (nobody is there at the moment). She is about to dash off to do whatever it is her idea is when she hurts her ankle badly, real badly. She cannot even stand up anymore. Scott yells for help. First Posha arrives and then everyone else, literally. Posha wraps Sillywhims ankle in cloths that are given to her from everyone around, which are all different colors. Once the cloths are on Sillywhim, the other colors notice how beautiful they look together and how beautiful THEY AS A GROUP around Sillywhim look together. All of that brings Sillywhims colors back (remember that Sillywhim was wearing only white?) Now, Sillywhim has a rainbow outfit on and the cloths have disappeared. She introduces Laurie and Scott to everyone (except Posha, who already met them) and they sing "Let us stand together," which is probably the best song in the whole film.After that, Laurie, Scott, and even Barney return back home. Was it all a dream? They look down at the coloring book...What did they see?Purchase the DVD or VHS to find out!

Wee love this. Brings me straight back and my son loves it as well!

My little brother recites songs from this all the time. Watches it all the time. Drives me nuts but hey, he's happy lol

Again it isn’t working at all in my DVD , other dvds work well , I dint know if you are getting defaulty dvd s I do not know what to do I’m very upset they do not work at all

I really wanted my daughter to have the same sing a long video as I did when I was growing up and I am so excited.

If you are looking for a video to put on for the little ones so you can get things done, then this is the one to get.My mother first got this for my younger sisters in the mid '90's, and though I was already a teenager by then, I noticed that, unlike most young children's entertainment, this one didn't make me want to vomit. She dug the video out a few years back, as she has taken on babysitting, and it has been a favorite for each of the kids she has watched.Though the acting is what you'd expect (pretty poor, especially the younger actors), the message is a good one; it's a lesson on diversity through use of characters not talking to other characters who wore different colors), and it's told through a series of songs that, while still aimed at kids, are, at times, amusing, and occasionally even catchy (even if you just hear the show from another room, you will find the songs randomly popping into your head later). It is a good length, 45 mins; not too short to be unintelligible and not so long as to bore the kids. Age range would probably be from 1-5 years of age.Basically, it's the story of two kids, Scott and Laurie, and their dog Barney, who get sucked into their coloring book and meet Sillywhim, a bizarre lady wearing all white. They meet several groups of characters who all wear the same color, and are all friendly enough and quick to engage in song, yet steadfastly refuse to even meet with or talk to any other characters who wear different colors. The only exception is the purple-wearing Sasha, who shares Sillywhim's desire to unite all the colors. It's a simple story and it's simply resolved, but that's to be expected from this kind of video. I highly recommend if you have little ones.

This, along with WeeSing Together, are my FAVORITE movies in the WeeSing colection! My daughter will sit through the entire movie and watch it on repeat. She sings, dances, and acts out the entire movie! She loves this as much as mommy did when she was younger and I LOVE being able to share this experience with her. The songs are fun, the acting is impecable (for a kids show, they really seem believable in their makebelieve world) and I LOVE the message of equality the story sends out. For many you will see a theme of racial equality because it's all about the people that only like their own color (red, blue, green, yellow, etc) coming together to appreciate and love each other. But it's also just about acceptance of others. Not judging people based on their looks. Having an open heart to get to know someone different because it's our differences that make us beautiful. It's one of the BEST social-justice movies I've ever seen and it's a kid's film! I love this movie and the message it sends and will let my daughter watch it for as long as she likes! I'm going to get another one soon because I'd like to have one at home and one at grandma's house so she can have her favorite movies at either place and not have to worry about packing it in the bag each trip.

Delightfully cheesy characters sing Joyful songs that kids don’t learn anymore

So much nostalgia

We had this on VHS for many years and were thrilled to find it on DVD. Kids love to sing and dance along. It truly is timeless.

Perfect thank you
