History Film / WeeSing

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Whether or not it's intentional, the Cookie Jar in "Grandpa's Magical Toys" sounds quite a bit like JamesEarlJones.

* GrandFinale: ''Wee Singdom''

* LivingToys: The focus of ''Grandpa's Magical Toys'' (obviously), ''Wee Sing Together'', and ''Wee Sing Train''.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The adults sometimes have this reaction because they're not privy to what happens in their kids' worlds. In ''Big Rock Candy Mountain'', Lisa's mom has this reaction. Subverted by Grandpa in ''Grandpa's Magical Toys''; his ability to stay young at heart may mean he believes, or even knows, his toys can come to life.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Peter in ''Grandpa's Magical Toys'' is played by Kevin Hageman, one half of the Hageman brothers who worked on films like ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania''.

** Many WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}} fans would recognize the [[{{Creator/DalMcKennon}} same guy]] who voiced the title character, because he got a live action role as the Crooked Man in ''King Cole's Party''.

Subverted in ''Big Rock Candy Mountains'' with [[AnthropomorphicZigZag the Snoodle Doodles.]] Lisa's other Big Rock Candy Mountain friends, like Felicity and Profster, may be versions of her toys as well.

It all started with two elementary music teachers, Pam Beall and Susan Nipp, who bonded over favorite childhood songs they wanted to share with their children and students. Realizing that they couldn’t remember all the words or even some of the melodies, they began a long and difficult search through collections of children’s songs. Slowly they discovered that the music from their childhood and that of their parents was being forgotten. In an effort to preserve it, they decided to create a book filled with favorite children’s songs to help not only themselves but all interested families share the joy of music together, titled "Wee Sing Children’s Songs and Fingerplays".

Pam and Susan continued to develop new titles for the Wee Sing series after their first book became an enormous success. In 1981, they broke new ground in children’s publishing with the addition of audiocassettes to their established songbook collection. This was taken one step further in 1985, when the first Wee Sing video, "Wee Sing Together", was produced, beginning a series of direct-to-video musical films that continued until 1996. They were then followed by two less successful sing-along videos made up of recycled songs from the previous videos.

* TheAgeless: The end of ''Grandpa's Magical Toys'' implies that the toys in the playroom are immortal. Punchinello remarks that "he's been around a long time," and first helped Peter's grandfather--a man in his seventies--when he was Peter's age. {{Justified}} since they're well, toys.

* ChristmasEpisode: The Best Christmas Ever.
* DefrostingIceQueen: A mild example in The Big Rock Candy Mountains. Profster, while not mean, is incredibly prim and unimaginative. The gang persuades him to loosen up while looking for shapes in the clouds; he eventually catches on and starts singing "Grizzly Bear."
