Fascinating look into the stories behind some of the Mother Goose nursery rhymes
Most stories, rhymes and fables have some story behind them as to their origin and this short, an Oscar nominee, goes into several of the Mother Goose rhymes and tells what event or action caused its creation. It's really quite fascinating to discover the basis of many of these rhymes we grew up with and to discover how many were actually political in nature. This shows on The Ink and Paint Club on the Disney Channel as well as a free-standing filler itself every once in awhile. Most recommended.
