      When I was younger and just saw re-runs of this show, I immediately thought, in simpler terms than stated here - 'He likes to have only one colour around, won't do anything people around him find amusing and fun, and doesn't feel comfortable with specific sensory stimuli? That's the best character'.
      Little did I know that he was the neurodivergent rep I needed back then! ^w^

    For me, one thing I admire about the show is how through Mr. Knit Knot they teach about how to be inclusive towards those that may act different or have different tastes than you. In any other show, he would have been an annoying antagonist that would constantly whine about how loud the band is and the band would try to make his life worse by being more obnoxious. But I like how the Imagination Movers often adapt and accept that Mr. Knit Knot is who he is and even made him a song that's suited for him. It's subtle but again it's an element of inclusion that teaches kids that people are different and rather than antagonize them for it they should be accepted and welcomed.

      I totally agree! The birthday episode has always stuck with me. It fascinated me bc I thought how I would hate to have his kind of birthday party that was so boring. But seeing how happy it made him made me so happy. It subtly taught me that even if YOU don't like something, it's great to respect others who do. A great lesson when you're being constantly being told as a kid that you're better than everyone bc you like books or don't date or do good in school etc.

      I understand what you're saying. When I was a kid I used to think Knit Knots was annoying, but after several episodes I realized that he's not bad he's just different. The scene that always stuck to till now was during the Christmas episode where the movers gave Knit Knots a bell that doesn't ring. I thought that was very creative and sweet of them to give him that sort of gift.
      Also, now that I'm rewatching the show as an adult I believe Knit Knots is an icon

      I'm going to be honest, I think I found a use for the odorless perfume, depending on how it actually works, if it is just straight-up basically water, then it is in fact useless but if it's like odorless deodorant, then it gets rid of all odors, and just kind of makes you smell like nothing, which isn't good but it is useful to a degree

      Knitknots WAS iconic. I’m pretty sure the odorless perfume was supposed to make the _wearer_ smell odorless, which is THE most useful product Knitknots ever came up with if that’s the case. It’s the perfect deodorant.
      Boring music is the runner-up because of how useful a lullaby/white noise is, but the absolute chasm between first and second place can’t be understated. Smelling like nothing is 100% better than smelling like ~sweaty garden breeze~ lmao

    I don't think there will be big changes, but it's really cool watching these shows that I grew up with

    I loved that reoccurring gag when at the end of the episode the problem is solved and the band celebrate by doing a group high five but Dave always misses it. As a kid I kept hoping the day when Dave would finally get it right.

    I went to an imagination movers concert at the Audubon zoo. It was so much fun. I was a bit disappointed because Smity couldn’t be there but that’s cause he’s an actual fire fighter and had to work on the 4th of July. They truly are an amazing group I almost got to see them a second time but plans changed and I couldn’t go.

    I have loved the imagination movers ever since i was a little kid, they're so cool and I'm so glad you did a video on them. One time when we were at one of their performances I was sitting in the aisle seat and Dave gave me a guitar pick. :) They're amazing people, when hurricane Katrina hit they helped out with the repair efforts and actually played music for the kids in the area!

    another kids show that featured a real band is Happy Monster Band! and the real band in it was Tally Hall (or 3/5 of Tally Hall). it aired on playhouse Disney from 2007 for a year and it had two seasons. as amazing as it would be to see you do a lore video for it, it didnt really have that much of a plot from what i remember (and also its kind of hard to find some of the episodes ngl.) Happy Monster Band, Yo Gabba Gabba, and the Imagination Movers are what defined my current music taste early in life ngl.

    My favorite songs are:
    Numbers in the bag, puppy, fix it up, paint the day away, now we’re cooking, clean my room
    💀💀😂 thanks for making this so I could be a nerd w folks about it and remember to relisten to them

    Thanks for the hit of nostalgia for both my life age 6 and age 16, as a thanks I will now leave my imagination movers story. They’re still New Orleans legends and they still preform shows live often! I had the honor of working crew for one of their shows since they performed at the children’s museum I worked at and the museum employees helped them set up and oh my god that was the best day at work ever, it was amazing because all of the employees, including me, used to watch them when they were kids so we were all fangirl/boy/theming
    And I got to say, never meet your hero’s UNLESS your heros’ are the imagination movers because they were just as great in person and so friendly to talk with, very humbling to see them as just nice guys and talk with them instead of watching them be live action cartoon characters
    So 10/10 show, got to take pictures with all of them and got to hear them preform All Star and All the Small Things

    Scott Durbin is literally a professor at ULL⚜️, I think for music business. He has the giant orange suit in his office.
    Also, I think before Disney picked them up, they were super popular children's performers in NOLA and who knows where else.
    They're also releasing a new song sometime next year that UL's Chamber Choir is backing and now I'm so jealous I didn't do choir this year😭
