Review & Description
Hullaballoo Colors feels like an episode of Sesame Street played at a slower, gentler speed. The half-hour video follows the same format as the popular public television show with short, snappy animation and puppet sequences interspersed between live-action segments. A multicultural cast of children--led by a soothing-voiced grown-up, Floella, and a mute mascot, Ted Bear--hold the various components together as they paint and sing about "all the colors in the rainbow" to a catchy beat. Many of the small sketches do a good job of standing on their own. In one, a mime paints a stick-figure table into a scene to solve a problem. In another, what appear to be puppet shadows are effectively used to tell the story of an Indian legend about rainbows. It's slow enough to engage the Teletubbies crowd with enough sophistication for their elder preschool siblings. --Valerie J. Nelson Read more
