Netflix is giving off strong “Schoolhouse Rock” vibes in its new series, “We the People.”
The animated show, which viewers can stream starting July 4, features 10 episodic music videos that each address a different U.S. civics topic, such as taxes and voting to the concept of checks and balances.
Much like the 1970s educational show “Schoolhouse Rock,” each video is catchy, three minutes long and packed with tons of information.
The Netflix series features a star-studded cast, including singers H.E.R., Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adam Lambert and Janelle Monáe. Executive producers include former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
According to “TODAY,” “We the People combines music and animation to educate a new generation of young Americans about the power of the people.”
People all over social media are praising the show. “A modern day School House Rock! Love it!” one user tweeted. Another wrote “THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS SO COOL.”
