The Celebration Celebration: A Tour Through the Tours of Madonna & more!30 Jan

MADONNA FOR KIDS pt. 2: FROM THE ENGLISH ROSES to THE INVISIBLES with SPECIAL FAMILY GUESTS!

“I wanted to write stories that would help children talk about feelings they don’t always know how to express.” — Madonna

In this episode we explore Madonna’s surprising foray into children’s storytelling and family-friendly media during the early 2000s.

First we visit Arthur and the Invisibles, where Madonna lends her voice to Princess Selenia in a tiny CGI world full of bugs, treasure, and big lessons in what turned out to be her last on-screen acting role (for now). To help us assess this film (and some of Madonna's music videos) we've got John's seven year old niece: Emily!

Then we dig deep into Madonna’s children’s books, starting with The English Roses, unpacking the jealousy, kindness, gossip, and very serious feelings hiding beneath the pastel illustrations and storybook dresses. To give these books their proper context, we're joined by two more of John's nieces: Kathryn and Emma!!

Together, these projects show a Madonna who wasn’t interested in shocking kids. She wanted them to talk about their feelings, learn a lesson, and maybe pick up a beautifully illustrated hardcover while they were at it.
