For fall 2001 review:
Two new releases in Judy & David’s Once Upon A Tune series…
The Children’s Group, long recognized as leaders in presenting high-quality entertainment for children of all ages, is pleased to announce the release of BeanStock and Red’s in the Hood, two new recordings in Judy & David’s acclaimed Once Upon A Tune series. Available in both enhanced CD and cassette, the Once Upon A Tune series (led by the 2000 CD/cassette releases PigMania and GoldiRocks) presents upbeat, up-to-date musical adaptations of classic children’s stories. Once Upon A Tune is an energetic blend of classic characters, lively sound effects and singable songs -–classic stories like you’ve never heard them before.
Featuring the talents of Juno Award-winning children’s entertainers Judy & David, BeanStock and Red’s in the Hood retell the familiar children’s tales of Jack & The Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood in a lively, upbeat musical fashion. The blend of original songs spans the musical spectrum, from pop to folk, from rap to rock ‘n roll – and all served up with Judy & David’s infectious brand of humour.
Children and parents will also delight in the enchanced portion of the Once Upon A Tune CDs, which provides interactive games, activities and numerous entertaining options for the entire family. Characters come to life on your computer screen, and guide users through song lyrics, printable coloring book pages, fun-and-games jigsaw puzzles, a bonus music video, and more…
Jack & The Beanstalk never sounded like this before…
In BeanStock, Jack meets the dazzling Georgina Wizard (played by Juno-winning artist Jann Arden), and trades in the family cow for a bag of magical beans. His groovy adventure begins when he climbs a gigantic beanstalk, meets a jazz-loving giant, and restores his family’s fortune…and the beans celebrate with the biggest concert this side of Woodstock.
Little Red Riding Hood never sounded like this before…
In Red’s in the Hood, Little Red Riding Hood is off with her basket of cookies to visit her motorcycle-riding, hip-hopping Granny, but she veers off the path, and runs right into the cookie-loving rap star B.B. Wolf. But the wolf’s vanity is his ultimate doing, when he unwittingly finds himself in the middle of a cool dance party, clad only in Granny’s pink pajamas.
BeanStock and Red’s in the Hood, Volumes 3 and 4 in the Once Upon A Tune series, are marketed by The Children’s Group – a company dedicated to producing high-quality entertainment for children and their families through audio, video, books, interactive CD-ROM, educational resources and live symphony concerts.
Known for its best-loved and award-winning Classical Kids® tales and The Mozart Effect® Music for Children/Music for Babies series, The Children’s Group recordings are distributed by Atlantic Records/WEA in the U.S., and Warner Music in Canada.
