    Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
    Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
    Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
    Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
    Robert Reynolds This was a staple of Saturday morning television back in the 1970s and later on. There will be mild spoilers ahead: If you are of a certain age and didn't live in a cave, chances are very good that this show is a part of your childhood/early teens. It was intended to help kids learns some of the basics. How well it did with that is a matter for conjecture.That it was generally entertaining and quite memorable is not in doubt. Some 40 years later, I can still remember most of the Multiplication Rock and Grammar Rock entries from the early to mid-1970s and the America Rock from the mid-1970s (roughly coinciding with the American Bicentennial).Everyone probably has their favorites. Mine were "Three Is a Magic Number", "Figure Eight", "Interjections!", "Conjunction Junction", "I'm Just a Bill" and "No More Kings".I don't really remember Science Rock or any of the stuff from the 1990s, though I've since seen the ones on the DVD releases. The series as a whole is very good and the DVDs are worth getting. Most highly recommended.
    scotty-37 Someone put a lot of love and work into these cartoons. These are some of the cleverest and highest quality work done for children I've ever seen.They teach people about language, science, math, and US history and politics. Most adults could learn from these cartoons as well as children. The entire time you watch, you're entertained and delighted and then when you're done you've learned something new and you'll remember it for a long time.This is a prime example of talented people doing something they love and doing it well. For the most part, pure genius!
    tajiblue Whoever came up with Schoolhouse Rock was a genius. Part of the power of these little cartoons was that they were run like commercials between other shows on Saturday morning. You couldn't help but learn. It's been almost sixteen years, but to this day, I can still recite the preamble.
    randy5k-3 Schoolhouse Rock is a series of short animations that were originally shown between Saturday morning cartoons. Ask any adult over 25 and 40 if they can sing the Preamble to the US Constitution or what makes "Zero a Hero" and you might be surprised to learn most know.Babyboomers may use the excuse that they are buying them for the kids, but I'll wager just as many adults are buying them to view themselves. You will be amazed how much your kids will learn and retain from these, and will be very surprised at how much you will learn yourself.
