Come to think of it, we're long overdue for some updated Schoolhouse Rock episodes, I know there are a lot of animators that would love to work on a short (and need the work)
Is there any hard data on how many adults use Schoolhouse Rock tunes to get through daily life?
I'm a professional writer and I still need to hum "Unpack Your Adjectives" a few times a week.
