Franklin, TN (PRWEB) September 4, 2006

Families are constantly on the go, go go! But that doesn’t mean fun can’t be had on the way! Be it at home or on the move, engaging, wholesome music entertainment goes right along with you thanks to the delightful new children’s DVD/CD combo disc series from ThingamaKid, starting with the company’s premiere titles “Toddler Toons” and Action Bible Toons” available September 26, 2006 on both DVD and CD in the same package.

Value priced at $9.99 each, this debut DVD/CD series, created by Nashville-based “animated music” label ThingamaKid and distributed by EMI, breathes new life into classic children’s sing-along songs through a unique DVD/CD combination package. Ideal for children ages 2-5 years, the discs work in synergy with each other, entertaining youngsters visually at home and audibly in the car or vice versa.

Each animated DVD (“Toons”) includes colorfully popping, playfully animated vignettes that will have kids singing and dancing along to their favorite toons (in English and Spanish). There are also three educational shorts and ten karaoke video tracks for the future American Idol in every home. Each CD (“Tunes”) contains the same ten songs plus five bonus tracks, all with split-track performance versions included.

“From the beginning, the vision for ThingamaKid was to be a label that would deliver music-based content to moms and kids on the go,” says Matt Huesmann, veteran producer, writer and creator/director of ThingamaKid, whose industry experience includes prior successes with VeggieTales sing-alongs, EMI Kid’s Worship Series, Golden Books “Pat the Bunny” and the multi-platinum selling Cedarmont Kids series.

“The future of music sales lies in the realm of the visual. That’s where ThingamaKid comes in. We are responding to the needs of today’s busy families,” continues Huesmann. “Our discs are ideal for short trips around town. Pop one into the car stereo (or DVD player!) and kids are engaged for the ride. Then, when home, pop it into the home system and continue the fun!”

Favorite toddler classics are included on “Toddler Toons” DVD like “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” “The Butterfly Song,” “The Wheels on the Bus,” “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “Pop! Goes the Weasel,” “This Old Man,” “Old MacDonald,” “The Alphabet Song” and more. “Toddler Tunes” CD includes bonus songs “Polly Put the Kettle On,” “Here We Go Loopty Loo” and “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” and more.

“Action Bible Toons” DVD is ideal for parents of faith who wish to introduce their youngsters to the traditional songs of the Christian faith, such as “Rise and Shine,” “Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho,” “Only a Boy Named David,” “Father Abraham,” and others. Bonus songs on “Action Bible Tunes” CD include “Jacob’s Ladder,” “Jesus Loves The Little Children,” “Jesus Loves Me” and more.

"Christmas Toons" DVD/CD combo package will be released October 24, 2006, just in time for the holidays.

Three new ThingamaKid titles will be released in March 2007 with another two titles available early summer 2007. To order products call 1-877-GO4-TOON (877-464-8666).
