Why You Should Check Out Rabbit Ears Entertainment


Hey everyone!  I just wanted to talk about one of my most favorite children’s companies Rabbit Ears Entertainment!Now, Rabbit Ears Entertainment (or Rabbit Ears Productions as it was formally known as) is not that well known among both the movie and the literature crowd, which is a bit upsetting seeing how how high quality the stories, the artwork and the narrations are for this series.  So, I would like to list the reasons why you should check this series out.1. The Narrators Even though this series was around mostly during the 1980s and the 1990s, the draw of this series was that the stories would be narrated by celebrities who were popular during the 1980s and the 1990s such as Denzel Washington, Robin Williams, Danny Glover, Geena Davis, Whoopi Goldberg and Jack Nicholson.  The fact that the celebrity narrators gave so much vigor in their storytelling really made this series worth watching and listening to!2. The Music Just like the celebrity narrators, there were also various musicians and singers who were popular during the 1980s and 1990s who were providing the music for the stories such as UB40, Art Lande, Bobby McFerrin and Lyle Mays.3. The artwork The artwork in this series is extremely varied and there is a lot to choose from such as smooth and beautiful artwork that portrays the seriousness of the story and wacky artwork that portrays the hilarious nature of the story.4. The storiesIf you enjoy reading folktales and fairy tales, this series definitely offers many fairy tales that you could check out such as The Three Little Pigs, East of the Sun West of the Moon, The Fool and the Flying Ship, Anansi and How the Camel Got His Hump.So, are you interested in checking out the Rabbit Ears Entertainment series?  You can check out the series through their website or through Amazon!
