Meet the Small Potatoes — a rockin' quartet consisting of the cutest spuds to ever rule the radio waves. This musical mockumentary traces the group from humble beginnings on an Idaho potato farm to their meteoric rise to international pop stardom. Unfortunately, while singing spuds may be something completely new, the perils of celebrity are all too familiar — and at the height of their fame, the lovable diva Ruby decides that she's the real star and branches out on her own, leaving Nate, the jazzy poet, Chip, the sweetheart, and Olaf the chubby intellectual, to pick up the pieces. Fret you not — this story has a happy ending, because no rock saga would be complete without the eventual reunion concert! The film has an authentic and almost gritty feel, with the adorably animated characters placed in live action archival settings (1960's era Coney Island in particular is a real treat), and true to the rock-doc form, musical numbers are punctuated with interviews with fans, a former manager, and the southern DJ who helped them to early success. Initially created as a This is Spinal Tap for the pre-school set, the Potatoes have picked up an even larger fan base of older kids and 'tweens — come see what all the excitement is about!
