Imagination Movers (2008) is a television show on Disney Junior. The show is made up of four guys who were friends and decided to make a band together. They began their show to give kids examples of good adult men on television. The show originated in New Orleans on public access television before being picked up by Disney. The guys are still very active in New Orleans in the parenting community and helping to repair the damage after Hurricane Katrina. Members of the band were directly affected by Katrina right before they began production on their Disney show.

It might be easy to assume this is just another casted Disney show, but they are seriously awesome guys. One of them is a freaking firefighter in real life! Smitty was a firefighter, Scott was a teacher, Rich was a journalist and Dave was an architect on the design team for the New Orleans Saints. These are some seriously awesome dudes.


Tropes used in Imagination Movers include:
  • [[Bag of Holdin]: Dave's hat sure can hold a lot...
  • [[Bigger on the Insid]: Hell yes. This is played [[Up to Eleve] with the rooms.
  • [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrom]: Knit Knots. He was a regular character in Season 1, but suddenly disappeared in seasons 2 and 3 (not counting his appearance in the "Imagination Movers In Concert" special).
  • Crazy Prepared: The Imagination Warehouse has a room for everything.
  • [[Ensemble Darkhors]: Warehouse Mouse has his own series of shorts.
  • [[Mr. Fanservic]: I think moms enjoy this show as much as their kids do. There's a Mover for everyone! Rich is your typical pretty guy. Dave's the handy man who can solve all of your problems. Smitty's smart and adorable. Scott's a big, cuddly teddy bear.
  • Five-Man Band: Rich is [[The Her], Dave is [[The Lance], Smitty is [[The Smart Gu] with his notebook that knows everything, Scott is [[The Big Gu], and Nina is The Chick.
  • Genki Girl: Nina, in spades. On the other hand, you can also make a case for the Movers being a group (mostly) comprised of [[Keet|Keet], especially Scott. [[Hilarity Ensue] when they're placed opposite of Nina's dull and dreary uncle Knit Knots, [[Opposite Day|whose idea of a birthday part] is equally drab music (instead of a traditional Happy Birthday song), eating a loaf of bread (as opposed to cake), and doing office work (in place of opening presents).
  • Goggles Do Something Unusual: Scott's "Wobble Goggles", which allow him to see things from a variety of hypothetical perspectives.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!:
    • Joey Fatone is a baseball player.
    • Duff is Ben, the Muffin Man.
    • [[Saturday Night Live|A Spartan cheerleade] is the Tooth Fairy.
    • [[Kath Souci] provides the voice of the Voicemail, no pun intended.
    • Miko from [[Transformers Prim] is a tomboyish princess.
  • [[Once an Episod]: The "Brainstorming" song.
  • [[Phrase Catche]: "Nina!!"
  • [[Serious Busines]: "Baker Ben, the world needs your muffins."
  • [[Shout-Ou]:
    • In "Knight Time," Sir Fearsalot and the Movers don't have horses -- only [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|coconut].
    • One of their albums is titled "For Those About To Hop". Another is "Juice Box Heroes".
  • [[Running Ga]: Poor Dave has only landed one high five.
  • [[Team Pe]: Warehouse Mouse, this mouse gets actual storylines.
  • [[The Danz]: All of the Movers.
  • Theme Tune Roll Call: Smitty's my friend he's playing his guitar! Scott's got his goggles that help him see far. Dave's over there underneath the red [1] hat! My name is Rich, I go a rat-a-tat-tat!
