Film Girl Mix #1: A Mix For The Kids

Our resident film-square-girl, Alyssa Kleven (see our live footage), was recently asked to suggest a few kid-safe tunes for a friend that had grown weary of listening endlessly to Hannah Montana overhead while she worked at her day job, teaching art to four-to-eight year olds.

Just a few songs? Well, she might have gone a little overboard. Grab a swirly straw and a juice box and enjoy over the weekend.
