“[Curious] encourages listeners to learn more about problem solving, and the power of uniting one’s community to fight for social justice. Curious is highly recommended, especially for school and public library collections.”
“The Ants pull off the impossible: kids’ music that is smart, challenging and fun, political but not preachy, catchy and appealing to adults.”
Curious was inspired by Philly Thrive, a community-powered org whose work led to the victorious shut down of the PES oil refinery in 2019.
Curious: Think Outside the Pipeline! is our puppet-powered musical movie about two siblings who organize their neighbors to fight for clean air. With the help of a songful community and a dancing pencil, Clio and Taylor learn to stand up for their beliefs, striving to make big change even in the face of some bigger, more powerful people. The 40-minute musical is set to the Ants' award-winning soundtrack, and was inspired by Philly Thrive's community-powered work leading to the victorious 2019 shut down of the PES oil refinery. With sock puppets, drawings, and stop motion video, Curious offers children a view into the importance of standing up for community. The film is ideal for parents and teachers who want to engage with children about being active members of a community and realizing their own agency.
Recommended for grades K-5. We also offer a combo movie-watching + environment-themed concert.
