The first time I ever saw this movie was on the Disney channel when I was about 11 or 12 years old and ever since then I have been in love with it and all the endearing even sometimes annoying rhymeland characters. The story is basically simple Mother Goose played so delightfully by Jean Stapleton has suddenly disappeared from rhymeland and it is up to her uptight son played to perfection by Dan Gilroy and Little Bo Peep played Shelly Duvall who was made for the part to find her and bring her back before everyone in rhymeland disappears and mother gooses's rhymes become nothing but a mere illusion. It shows all the hilarious struggles and complications Bo Peep and Gordon have to go through to find her and all the crazy characters they meet on the way. The sets are bright, colorful, and very creative as are the costumes and makeup and while the special effects are not very realisitic and corny the great script and amazing humor make up for it. This movie just about has any star in the movie and music business you can think of including Woody Harrelson as the lamb from Mary had a little lamb, Little Richard as the party loving Old King Cole, Ben Vereen as Itsy Bitsy Spider, and the musical trio ZZ Top as The Three Men in the Tub which was pure genius putting them in that role. This movie is amazing and although it may seem corny and even childish at times it still proves to be funny, endearing and magical and I promise if you watch it, it will make you feel like a kid again.

This movie is a DELIGHT!!!!!! No matter how old you are. Love the cast, sets, costumes, the lines, like jack and jill's "relationship" and Gordon referring to the 3 men in the tub (zz Top) as "those wackos with the 5 o'clock shadows." Loved Gordon and BoPeep's almost-kiss, the carnival scene (esp the barker), and the "Don't Be A Stick In The Mud song from the dungeon scene. Recommended for kids from 4-104

i personally LOVED this video, the music, the costumes, everything.but as i noticed in other reviews, poeple said it was not for children.i agree.it is beyond children.they just won't get it.but if you want something that is really a great piece of eye and ear candy, this is for you.

This is one of those movies we used to watch on the Disney Channel and just loved it more every time we saw it. I never knew it became a hard to find classic, but when I tried to find a copy to buy, I saw them going for up to $54 on Ebay. For those of you who want to buy it but can't find it, I went to Pricegrabber.com and paid $11 for a VHS copy. It's backordered, but worth the wait.

I have been looking like crazy for this movie none of the movie stores have it and i loved this movie when i was a child and now I am 18 and and havent seen it in 11 years but i can still remember what a great and exciting movie it was that was my childhood movie and i always watched over and over again and I can still remember how bright and what a happy and colorlfull movie it was!!!!!!! I think this movie is great for all ages no matter how old i am i will alaways remember what a great movie it was and how much i loved it! I am so glad i have finally found it and i advise anyone that wants to see a very lovely funny and happy movie to try watching this one!!!!!!!!!! YOU will never forget this movie nomatter how old you get!!!!!!

In this movie Cyndi Lauper plays Mary (Had a Little Lamb).
You just gotta see her awesome performance!
It's quite unbelievable how such great singer and songwriter can also be a simply terrific actor.
You probably saw Cyndi Lauper in "Vibes" and "Off & Running". If you enjoyed any of these movies, then you know how great Cyndi Lauper is.
It's not necessary to be a kid to like "Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme". Anyone who considers himself/herself a rock/pop music fan must see this title.

I was about eight years old when this came out. And I loved every second of it.

Although dark in tone, what a lot of people don't really understand is that this movie was made in a time when people were less...well, 'anal'...about what they were watching. People then were less easily offended. I, personally, would love to see more movies and television shows like this.

Does anybody know if this is coming out on DVD?? If so, when??

My younger sister was obsessed with this movie when we were growing up, so I've probably seen it at least fifty times. Now, as an adult, it's great to watch it again because I realize how many huge stars were in it playing bit parts. Really fun movie...I wish they would re-release it to DVD!

You know I remember this movie from when I was like 10. I've looked for this crazy movie FOREVER! I loved this one when I was younger and would recommed it for anyone! I can't wait to watch it again!

This movie is my favorite movie. The best movie i have ever seen. It's fun for the entire family. I've seen it maybe literally 85 times. my original tape that i recorded it on from the disney channel when they first played it won't even play anymore. I recently got a new tape last christmas. I'm 17 in college now. i actually have th tape in my dorm room for every one to see. lol . it's wonderful though!
