Schoolhouse Rock

On decades-old VHS tapes!

Ask any 40 year old who grew up in America what the preamble of The Constitution is and she will not recite it for you, she will SING it. That's thanks to the Saturday morning cartoon series Schoolhouse Rock.

These shorts were how many of us learned how a bill becomes a law, the definitions of parts of speech, and how America became a free nation. Not to mention, the preamble.

By turning major American historical events, and simple mathematical and grammatical lessons into catchy sing-a-longs, they sneakily taught us cartoon-obsessed kids a thing or 2.
