“Whether we are rockers or heros or helpers – we want to
remind children and adults alike that they have the power
– the power to be super kind, or a super big brother, or a
super dancer, or super patient.” – Imagination Movers

“Four friends in a rock and roll band…”

For fifteen years this phrase has embodied the very essence of the Imagination Movers. Four friends, Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche, and Scott “Smitty” Smith, formed a rock and roll band, one that would reach kids and their families. Their music would not only teach, be inclusive, encouraging, but also rock out a concert hall.

The Imagination Movers success grew throughout the years. Their families survived the tragedy brought into New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. They partnered with Disney, and delivered an Emmy award-winning television series with 75 episodes shown all over the world. Nine CDs have been released and well received. Thousands of fan reviews on Ticketmaster.com continue to rank their live concert as the number one touring act for families.

With die-hard fans who still follow the Imagination Movers in mind, and a new generation to entertain, the four friends decided to get animated with their new project, “Super Movers”. Mover Scott Durbin describes this venture as a way to “celebrate the idea that everybody has the power to become a super hero”. “Super Movers” is a collaborative product between 9 Story Media Group, a Canadian production company, and the Imagination Movers.

Mover Scott expresses that “the key for the Movers was to reinvent super hero tropes, and in doing so, making heroic acts accessible and accomplishable for kids of all ages. By illustrating to families everywhere that while super speed, being stretchy or gummy, and telekinesis are cool (and even super) – the real super powers we should value are compassion, kindness, and creative problem-solving. Kids should see that being a super big sister, or a super dancer, or a super friend are just as important, if not more so. By stressing something that is achievable, we feel we can take a popular genre and make it inspirational, not by the acts we can’t do, but all the actions we can do.”

The title song “Super Movers” was released as a single (be sure to download it here or here!) and quickly rose to number 1 in the US and Canada on iTunes and Amazon in the children’s music category. The animated trailer for the show amassed over 115,000 views in its first week on YouTube, and continues to grow daily as more find out about it. At the moment, “Super Movers” is looking for a network and/or broadcaster to make the idea into a reality. Fans can help accomplish this by showing demand for this new Movers project by watching the trailer, downloading the single, sharing by means of social media, and requesting the show via broadcasters such as Netflix or Hulu.
