      • Imagination Movers is an American musical sitcom developed by Rick Gitelson and based on the format and music of the New Orleans music group of the same name that premiered its first two episodes consecutively on September 6, 2008, on Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney daily block. On February 14, 2011, the series was moved to the Disney Junior block on Disney Channel, which was rebranded from Playhouse Disney.
      Each episode of the series features songs written and performed by the aforementioned music group, whose official members all starred in the show.
      On May 24, 2011, it was announced that the series wouldn't be renewed for a fourth season (which meant a loss of several months of steady employment for the 100 members of the mostly local crew that worked on the show) and that it would end after the remaining episodes of the third season have aired, though the band itself can continue and is open to doing other projects.
      After the final episode originally aired on April 14, 2013, reruns continued to air on Disney Junior until May 16, 2014, and the entire series (excluding the concert special) was made available on the Disney+ streaming service on February 28, 2020.


      Overview


      The series focuses on the Imagination Movers: the inventive and thoughtful Dave (bass, vocals), the stern and proud Rich (drums, percussion, lead vocals), the smart and cowboy-like Smitty (guitars, keyboards, vocals), and the hyperactive, misunderstood, and burro-obsessed Scott (vocals, mandolin, keyboards, percussion), who dwell in the "Idea Warehouse," with doors leading to rooms such as a "Jungle Room," a "Wind Room," a "Beach Room," a "Farm Room," a "Wind Room," a "Lost & Found Room," a "Very Far Away Room," a "Sun Room" and a "Tropical Island Room." In every episode, they aid many clients with problems and think up creative ways to solve problems. They are often aided by Warehouse Mouse, the freeloading, wall-dwelling anthropomorphic mouse, Nina, their spirited and ever-cheerful neighbor, and Knit Knots, Nina's strict uncle who harbors a dislike for things he deems too "exciting." He appears in the first season, a flashback in the episode from Season 3, "Mouse Scouts," and the aforementioned March 2011 concert special, "Imagination Movers in Concert." Nina now works as a photographer, often visiting the Movers to take pictures for the local newspaper. In Season 3, Nina owns and operates the Idea Cafe. It is also revealed in the episode from Season 2 "Trouble in Paradise," that Nina is Hawaiian (much like Wendy Calio is in real life).
      The Movers have special equipment to help them in their tasks. Rich has special "Scribble Sticks" that he can use to draw pictures and write words on the TV screen, Scott has "Wobble Goggles" that allow him to see things from a variety of perspectives, Dave has a special baseball cap that can store a variety of objects and Smitty has a special journal.
      Each episode ends with the Movers singing "Jump Up" during which brief flashbacks of the episode's events play. In Season 1, the End Credits roll after this, but for Seasons 2 and 3, the End Credits roll during it.
