Roseanne Barr played a one-of-a-kind mother on prime time television's Roseanne in the late 1980's and her entrance to the children's music market is no less unique. The harsh, almost raspy tone quality that made Roseanne seem so believable as a frustrated, loud-mouthed television mother is also evident in Roseanne's singing voice. While her distinctive tone quality is used to good effect in songs like "No Monsters Allowed" and "I'm Gonna Tell on You" which are sung from the point of view of querulous young children, it isn't particularly pleasant listening. The themes of the songs vary from outright disobedience and obnoxious behavior ("Don't Do It") to the fantastical ("Down on the Donut Farm") to the appreciation of natural beauty and all that is good in classics like "Popcorn Poppin'" and "Three Little Birds." The visuals run the gamut from Roseanne dressed up like a child in a blanket sleeper to full animation to puppetry, and the music styles include rock, jazz and country. Roseanne Barr fans with young children may get a kick out of Rockin' with Roseanne - Calling All Kids , but it's definitely not your typical warm and fuzzy children's musical collection. Selections can be viewed with or without on-screen lyrics. (Ages 2 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi

So bad
Rating  (1)
Date: 2007-12-17
My husband bought this for $3 and I question if he overpaid. The production is pretty bad, the sound does not sync up with her or the puppets mouths. It pains me to say, my 2 and 4 yr old actually do not mind it and have asked to watch it. I had a sacrilegious moment at the end when she "sings" Marley's Three Little Birds. It almost made me violent. This is a good one to leave at Grandma's.

My father-in-law bought this for my two girls (3 and 6) last Christmas and it is terrible.
Terrible songs, terrible singing, terrible everything.
Don't waste your money.

Really Wanted to Like This One...

I am a Roseanne fan since forever, through thick and thin, and really wanted to love this. Though sometimes cute, it was just too cheesy in many respects. The singing was often subpar (even for a kid vid) and the Roseanne close-ups too frequent and too close. The Roseanne dressed as a little girl made me uncomfortable -- guess you just can't pull that off after a certain age. "Popcorn Poppin" was a cute song and story, but the animation was not only cheesy, it was downright scary. Also scary was the brown face makeup on the kids dressed as teddy bears in "Teddy Bears' Picnic." And she REALLY should have left "Three Little Birds" alone. On the positive side, I think my toddler liked it (seemed to hold his attention). "I'm Gonna Tell on You" was pretty funny and clever - two puppet sisters arguing. The Andrews Sisters-type number was also pretty good -- "Let the Kids Boogie," and Roseanne and the girls look great in their 40's outfits/hair. The animated "Peanut Butter and Jelly Fish" was clever and cute, too. My favorite was "Down on the Doughnut Farm" -- just because of the concept and because it was quintessential Roseanne. Also, those doughnuts looked seriously good! (Suggestion: put your shoes on while watching it -- you'll be compelled to run out for doughnuts as soon as its over.) I do hope the kiddies (and their grownups) like it more than I did. I really did want this to be good. I loved the motivation and intention behind it (quirky and for the kids), but for me, it simply missed the mark. Sorry, Rosie. :o( Do consult with me on the next one though! ;o)

Bought this DVD for my 4 year old niece's birthday. They played it during the entire birthday party! All the kids were dancing to Let the Kids Boogie - and it was so nice that the music was actually fun for the adults to listen to as well! Highly recommend this DVD for Kids!
