==About==
The Imagination Movers is an American live-action preschool television series that premiered on September 6, 2008 on Disney Channel.

==History==
This channel was created on January 25th, 2018 and first uploaded video on June 16, 2009.
A pilot episode was made in 2006, and music videos started populating The Disney Channel.https://www.getrichslowly.org/money-interviews-imagination-movers/ Soon after, in 2008, Walt Disney Records introduced the Imagination Movers' music to the nation with the release of the Movers' first nationally released CD, Juice Box Heroes. The album's tracklisting was curated from the Movers first three independent albums: Good Ideas, Calling All Movers, and Eight Feet.
In September 2008, a 22-minute show featuring the group began airing on the Disney Channel's preschool programming block known as Playhouse Disney, and eventually airing on Playhouse Disney's replacement, Disney Junior. The Movers starred and were also co-executive producers of the show.https://happymomblogger.com/2011/10/11/the-imagination-movers-an-exclusive-interview/ Despite creating the show, the Movers were forced to settle for a placard stating the show was based on the music and format of the Imagination Movers. Moreover, the show was incorrectly labeled a variety show by the channel, thereby cheating the Movers out of a created by credit and considerably underpaying them for their creative IP.
After the show's cancellation on April 14, 2013, reruns aired until May 16, 2014.
