00:00yeah we leaned a lot on the the brand uh moonbug the brand that owns cocomelon and they they told

00:12us a lot about the watching culture around the world and then we we we made a show that could be

00:22more universal i guess this this tour tours to many different countries um after the philippines

00:28so we made a show that we felt could be universally joyful and educational and fun to kids all around

00:36the world oh the most fun part is the music of course uh we we got to put together the show

00:48using more than 20 songs and we we took the the best most fun songs that we could find in the

00:56coco melon universe and we amped them up to 11 we did the party version of every song so uh you'll

01:03get the party version of wheels on the bus and all the way through to dance like jiggly jello which is

01:08just a silly song of colors and shapes and and dancing like jilly jiggly jello so uh the the most

01:15fun part was was just working with our team of musicians and voiceover actors and our choreographer

01:21macy to to put those musical scenes together it's a little challenging to make sure you get that look

01:27and the feel and the sound so that the kid immediately knows yes that's the jj that i know

01:32and love right so they don't so because kids are harsh judges they know immediately if that's something

01:39that smells weird or they they don't like it so it's it's really important to to as soon as jj comes

01:45on stage that the kid is glued to that character i think uh coco melon is a brand as a show is

01:57important because of the the the combination of learning and fun kids are extremely curious and

02:05they take the learning aspect and make it really fun like brushing your teeth or bath time when i was a

02:12kid it was always more fun or more interesting or easy to remember or learn something if you put a

02:17silly dance or a silly song on top of it so i think making that intersection of learning and fun

02:23uh is really important to coco melon and then to the live show i think it takes it a step further

02:29i think live entertainment is super important and showing kids early and often exposing children

02:37early to live entertainment and to real singing and real dancing it really just broadens their whole view

02:45of the world and and even something as silly as jiggly jello on stage is makes a kid's eyes a little bit

02:53brighter and a little bit wider so they see the world as a as a more fun place

02:57we were going to add a filipino coco melon character that's a great question it's not something i've

03:07thought about the brand hasn't asked me to do that yet so uh you're putting me on the spot i would say

03:13that they would be extra smiley uh probably the most um the most i think adventurous

03:27is the word i'm looking for like ready to ready to jump into the next adventure even even maybe more

03:34but jj is sort of the is the character that's really leading the pack but i would say that the

03:41filipino character would be right behind jj as the one saying yeah we got to go do that and it's going

03:47to be the most fun thing ever so i think that's the the filipino character i would add

03:53i want parents to be extremely involved i want parents to be up and dancing and singing and

04:04singing and clapping their hands right along with their kids and you know even if the parents get

04:09up first and they're dancing and singing and learning the moves that would be that'd be amazing

04:15i would like last message um to be curious and to have fun and to uh enjoy the the world around them

04:35in in all of its fun and and beautiful ways

04:39you

04:41you

04:42you

04:44you
