Movie Review: Entertaining for all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was forced to watch this video many times in elementary school-it was my class' personal favorite. Basically, it's a racial tolerance story for children. And don't even try to say that it's not. Two children travel to a land inside a coloring book called Sillyville, where the different "colors" don't get along. The red hate the blue, the blue hate the green, the green hate the yellow. The only color that had any kind of tolerence at all was the purple woman, and I suspect that was because she lived alone in a house with 5 fuzz balls and a marionette puppet of a bird. Had there been 5 or 6 purple people like there were of the other colors, and they would have hated the other colors just as much. But anyway, at the center of all of this is Sillywhim, the "star" of the coloring book. She acts a sort of a tour guide for the two children, protecting them from possible hostility based on the clothes they wear (or, to be more specific, the colors of the clothes they wear) and showing them the general misfortune in Sillyville. Her black and white outfit, she tells them, used to be many different colors, but became very plain and boring when the colors stopped working together. As they go through Sillyville, each color group is given a song or two. The blue people sing about a yodeling ostrich, the red sing about a sick baby, the yellow sing about fish, chips, and vinigar, and the green sing about playing leapfrog. The colors are, of course, reuinited at the end to help Sillywhim when she twists her ankle. They may hate each other, but their love for Sillywhim helps them overcome it and work together. Now tell me that isn't a racial tolerance story in disguise. But it's a pretty good one.
Summary of Wee Sing in Sillyville
Come along on a surprise journey with Lauri, Scott, and Barney the dog, as they magically disappear into the pages of their coloring book. Meet Sillywhim, who welcomes them to the wacky world of Sillyville where anything can happenÑas long as itÕs fun. But thereÕs a problem here: The yellow Spurtlegurgles donÕt like the green Jingleheimers, while the red Bitty Booties wonÕt talk to the blue Twirlypops. Now itÕs up to Laurie and Scott to teach them the true meaning of friendship, no matter what color they are.Children of all ages will love to sing and dance along with the characters to 20 best-loved childrenÕs songs.
