Imagination Movers is an American musical sitcom developed by Rick Gitelson and based on the format and music of the New Orleans music group of the same name that premiered its first two episodes consecutively on September 6, 2008, on Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney daily block. On February 14, 2011, the series was moved to the Disney Junior block on Disney Channel, which was rebranded from Playhouse Disney.

Each episode of the series features songs written and performed by the aforementioned music group, whose official members all starred in the show.

On May 24, 2011, it was announced that the series wouldn't be renewed for a fourth season (which meant a loss of several months of steady employment for the 100 members of the mostly local crew that worked on the show) and that it would end after the remaining episodes of the third season have aired, though the band itself can continue and is open to doing other projects.[1]

After the final episode originally aired on April 14, 2013, reruns continued to air on Disney Junior until May 16, 2014, and the entire series (excluding the concert special) was made available on the Disney+ streaming service on February 28, 2020.[2]
