The Shoopie Doopie Show takes children on a fun adventure where they learn about their feelings. Children learn how to identify their everyday emotions and how to find solutions to express them or cope with them.
This is an interesting new show for preschoolers that focuses on emotions. The two main characters, Shoopie and Doopie are large Muppets - bigger than Big Bird - and they serve as role models for the audience. The camera work is quite good and the audio recording is very clear. The one thing that I didn't care for was the squeaky voices of the characters - but that's a personal preference. Also, they add a choir of children's voices but we never see the children; we only hear their voices. I will say that the colors used for backgrounds and props are bright and lively, which is fun. The plot falls a bit short in providing fun details to make sure children are learning and having a good time while being engaged. The plot sticks to mostly identifying emotions by listing them, which isn't particularly dynamic. Shoopie and Doopie's performances are good; however, they seem to be mostly casually speaking and they don't really engage the audience, which I found rather dry. The Shoopie Doopie Show is the first children's short film for Mary Swanhaus, the director and producer. My favorite part is when they start naming the emotions and trying to identify them in the segment called Name It To Tame It. It is good to learn how to identify these emotions and learn how to respond effectively in a good or bad situation.
The film's message is that emotions contribute to a huge factor in our internal self, because it is how we react or respond to situations.
I give The Shoopie Doopie Show 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it ages 2 to 5. By Hafsa H., KIDS FIRST!
