He's Hip! He's Cool! And He Loves to Learn!

He's Hip! He's Cool! And He Loves to Learn!

Emmy Nominated® Hip Hop Harry Returns with the Newest Title in the Award-Winning DVD Series: Hip Hop Harry 'Move Those Feet' In Stores March 11, 2008 from Allumination FilmWorks

Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) March 3, 2008

The award-winning sensation Hip Hop Harry is back in action and hipper than ever! Allumination Filmworks releases the latest DVD in the Emmy®-nominated, Parents' Choice Approved series with the new title 'Hip Hop Harry: Move Those Feet' in stores March 11, 2008.

Each of the three episodes included in this DVD -- "Fancy Footwork," "You Can Dance!" and "I Like to Move" -- encourages children to exercise and express themselves the fun way, through dance. Each episode is bursting with music, merriment and the hip-hop flavor that has made Hip Hop Harry a family phenomenon.

Hip Hop Harry is the lovable, huggable, rapping teddy bear whose favorite theme is "I Love To Learn!" 100 percent multicultural, positive and always fun, Hip Hop Harry uses music, dance and rhyme to teach youngsters about language, social skills and problem solving while he gets them up on their feet and out of their seats to exercise both mind and body!

Currently seen on Discover Kids and The Learning Channel (TLC), Hip Hop Harry earned its first Emmy® nomination last year as Outstanding Preschool Children's Series. In addition, the live Hip Hop Harry shows continue to entertain parents and children throughout the nation -- and continue to expand the Hip Hop Harry family.

Hip Hop Harry has all the hallmarks of classic children's programming: The show teaches learning and social skills, encourages creativity, and -- thanks to Harry's hipper moves -- promotes exercise and physical fitness. It was always the intent of the creators to combine those important facets into one entertaining show.

Harry's fast moves were also born of the global popularity of Hip-Hop dance and music -- a creative and engaging cultural form of expression, which appeals to children of all backgrounds and ages. Education is never more enjoyable (and easy) when it's entertaining and fun, and that's the prime component of the successful Hip Hop Harry formula.

Three fun episodes in 'Move Those Feet' DVD are:
  Fancy Footwork -- Sisters Savannah and Sophina learn the importance of positive competition -- and drinking water to maintain a healthy body -- when they find themselves on opposing teams in the Hip Hop Central dance contest.

 I Like To Move! -- It's "Fitness Fun Day" at Hip Hop Central and Hip Hop Harry has invited a fitness expert to teach the kids some fun new ways to exercise. And Scott learns about rhyming words and composes a poem to perform for everyone.

 You Can Dance! -- Katie knows how to dance ballet but wants to learn Hip Hop. Hip Hop Harry suggests she take some classes at Hip Hop Central. Taking it step by step, Katie and all the kids learn some great new moves.

'Move Those Feet' joins 'Fun with Friends,' which launched the series on DVD last year. Hip Hop Harry DVDs are recommended for ages 3 and up and are available at a suggested retail price of $14.98 each. For more information or to order products, visit www. alluminationfilmworks. com.
