''Imagination Movers'' (2008) is a television show on Disney Junior. The showa is made up of four guys who were friends and decided to make a band together. They began their show to give kids examples of good adult men on television. The show originated in New Orleans on public access television before being picked up by Disney. The guys are still very active in New Orleans in the parenting community and helping to repair the damage after Hurricane Katrina. Members of the band were directly affected by Katrina right before they began production on their Disney show.

It might be easy to assume this is just another casted Disney show, but they are seriously awesome guys. One of them is a freaking firefighter in real life! Smitty was a firefighter, Scott was a teacher, Rich was a journalist and Dave was an architect on the design team for the New Orleans Saints. These are some seriously awesome dudes.

Tropes:
* BagOfHolding: Dave's hat sure can hold a lot...
* BiggerOnTheInside: Hell yes. This is played UpToEleven with the rooms.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Knit Knots. He was a regular character in Season 1, but suddenly disappeared in seasons 2 and 3 (not counting his appearance in the "Imagination Movers In Concert" special).
* ClipShow & RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun: "Mouse Scouts Clip Show," in which the Movers remind Warehouse Mouse of various great things he's done in the past and clips of those things are shown.

* FiveManBand: Rich is TheHero, Dave is TheLancer, Smitty is TheSmartGuy with his notebook that knows everything, Scott is TheBigGuy, and Nina is TheChick.
* GenkiGirl: Nina, '''in spades'''. On the other hand, you can also make a case for the Movers being a group (mostly) comprised of {{Keet}}s, '''especially''' Scott. HilarityEnsues when they're placed opposite of Nina's dull and dreary uncle Knit Knots, [[OppositeDay whose idea of a birthday party]] is equally drab music (instead of a traditional Happy Birthday song), eating a loaf of bread (as opposed to cake), and ''doing office work'' (in place of opening presents).
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Scott's "Wobble Goggles", which allow him to see things from a variety of hypothetical perspectives.
* HeyItsThatGuy:
** Joey Fatone is a baseball player.
** [[AceOfCakes Duff]] is Ben, the Muffin Man.
** [[SaturdayNightLive A Spartan cheerleader]] is the Tooth Fairy.
** KathSoucie provides the voice of the Voicemail, no pun intended.
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Miko]] is a tomboyish princess.
* NoodleImplements: Dave says he needs a herring and a colander for his workout.
* OnceAnEpisode: The "Brainstorming" song.
* PhraseCatcher: "Nina!!"
* RockPaperScissors: In "Shall We Dance?," Nina has an extra ticket to the ballet, so the Movers and Warehouse Mouse play rock-paper-scissors to determine who gets it. Mouse throws down cheese and everyone tries to figure out whether or not that beats Smitty's rock, [[spoiler:they are then interrupted when the ballet's two big stars show up with a problem, and the game is eventually rendered moot when the entire group receives an invite to be guests of honor once they solve the problem.]]
* RunningGag: Poor Dave has only landed one high five.
* ScoutOut: "Mouse Scouts Clip Show" has Warehouse Mouse trying to get into the Mouse Scouts.
* SeriousBusiness: "Baker Ben, the world ''needs'' your muffins."
* ShoutOut:
** In "Knight Time," Sir Fearsalot and the Movers don't have horses -- only [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail coconuts]].
** One of their albums is titled "For Those About To Hop". Another is "Juice Box Heroes".
* StockAnimalDiet: In "Shall We Dance?," the Movers get some bananas from one of their rooms and are seen running out of the room, accompanied by the sounds of chattering angry monkeys. Oh, and Warehouse Mouse loves his cheese. There's even a song about it.
* TeamPet: Warehouse Mouse, this mouse gets actual storylines.
* TheDanza: All of the Movers.
* ThemeTuneRollCall: Smitty's my friend he's playing his guitar! Scott's got his goggles that help him see far. Dave's over there underneath the red [[hottip:*:orange in the original]] hat! My name is Rich, I go a rat-a-tat-tat!
