    A Brief Comparison of Kids Music Videos Featuring Ninjas

    In one corner, the Imagination Movers.  The other, Koo Koo Kanga Roo.  They will fight each other to the death.

     

    Or... maybe not.

     

    In any case, the Imagination Movers recently released their second video off their Rock-O-Matic disk (and DVD), for the song "Dance Kung Fu."  Let's compare it to Koo Koo Kanga Roo's "Ninja Training" off the band's 2011 Midnight Slushie EP.

     

    Number of ninjas -- "Dance Kung Fu": 4, "Ninja Training": 9 (I think)

    Number of cookie baskets -- "Dance Kung Fu": 1, "Ninja Training": 0

    Number of dream sequences -- "Dance Kung Fu": 0, "Ninja Training": 1

    Number of cross-dressing band members -- "Dance Kung Fu": 1, "Ninja Training": 0

    Value of ninja training skills -- "Dance Kung Fu": minimal, "Ninja Training": minimal

    Value of ninja dance moves -- "Dance Kung Fu": very high, "Ninja Training": very high

    Hands down Koo Koo Kanga Roo's Video and Song is way better then the Imagination Movers! Really all the Imagination Movers said in their song was Kung Fu and their dance moves hand nothing to do with Kung Fu. "Pick a penny up" and " Gum on your Shoe" Really? For The Imagination Movers being promoted by Disney you would think their Video would be better but Koo Koo Kanga Roo's Video was just as good if not better production. I think the winner in this showdown throwdown is Koo Koo Kanga Roo!

    Imagination Movers all the way! "Dance Kung Fu" is just one of the many new tracks on the brand new Rock-o-Matic CD/DVD, just released. The Movers are no longer with Disney, and this being their first post-Disney production, we think it's 110% enjoyable! They start their spring tour in Buffalo on April 10th... please, if your children like them even the slightest, consider checking out their show. You won't regret it.
    Let's do it... Kung Fu it!

    I let my kids decide this and Imagination Movers won, hands down. I don't think it matters that the Movers song didn't focus on serious ninja moves. It's a fun, silly, dance song with ninjas in it that appeals to kids. That being said, Koo Koo Kanga Roo still did an awesome job, but we picked the Movers.

    Movers all the way! Their songs are so catchy and danceable and this one definitely qualifies as both! Love the whole concept... what could be better than combining a classic fairytale with... NINJAS! LOL. This is my son's favourite song off their new disc, Rock-O-Matic and was an instant hit in our house!
