This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lasher (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).
I have in mind episodes dealing with today's world with inclusion of a range of topical issues such as a conversation between two animated entities. One named Dem (democracy) and one named Cap (capitalism). Maybe have multiple episodes on just this topic alone.
Who knows maybe animated Taylor Swift for the dem entity and someone to be named later for the cap entity.
Feel free to take this idea and run with it. I want my cut. haha
It could work

... where would children see these.
Schoolhouse Rock worked because it aired in the ad breaks of popular children's television shows. Kid's who watch YouTube videos don't have that.

could even be grittier. One of the keys would be the Rock.

(4,044 posts)3. Sadly, streaming services now have ad breaks. Some public service Schoolhouse Rock would be appropriate.
I loved it as a kid watching those weekend morning shows.
Perhaps Schoolhouse Hip Hop would go over better with this generation?
Schoolhouse TicToc?

Good idea, but politics are not allowed in the Lounge. Please consider reposting in the GD forum.
