The Disney Channel movie starred Shelley Duvall as Little Bo Peep traveling through nursery rhymes. Like many ’90s kids’ movies, it was equal parts fun and horrifying.
On May 19, 1990, the Disney Channel aired the most bizarro nursery rhyme mash-up of all time.
Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme was a star-studded musical adventure that combined '80s star power with '90s weirdness. For those of us who grew up watching it, it was a formative experience.

Jean Stapleton played Mother Goose, whose sudden disappearance spurs her son into action.
She's basically Edith from All in the Family if Archie had never crushed her spirit.

Mother Goose's son Gordon Goose (I know) is a total square who doesn't get the whole nursery rhyme thing.
He's played by Dan Gilroy, whose only IMDb credits are this movie and an episode of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, also starring Jean Stapleton.

Then, Mother Goose's nursery rhymes spring to life as "rhymies."
Here is Wee Willie Winkie strangling Gordon. Why is he strangling him? For the same reason he's an Oompa Loompa. It was 1990, and that's just the way we did things.
