Motown Magic is a fun animated TV show made for kids. It was created by Josh Wakely and you can watch it on Netflix. The show is all about a boy named Ben.
Ben is an 8-year-old with a big heart and a super creative imagination. He has a special magic paintbrush. With this brush, he can make the street art in his city, Motown, come to life!
A really cool part of the show is its music. The creator, Josh Wakely, got permission to use famous songs from the Motown record label. These classic songs are sung by modern artists and are woven into the stories. You'll hear hits from legendary groups and singers like The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, and Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.
The show first came out on Netflix around the world on November 20, 2018.
