Fun you can count on, learning you can trust
Make screen time count with a treasure trove of educational movies and engaging activities that have been trusted by schools (and loved by kids!) for decades. With topics in every subject, BrainPOP Family’s at-home learning builds comprehension and sparks curiosity—taking your kids from asking “What is that?” to “Did you know this?”
Tim, Annie, Moby, and the magic of movies
At the heart of BrainPOP learning experiences are engaging, animated films that turn complex ideas into kid-friendly explorations.
Relatable characters, like the orange robot Moby and his pals Tim and Annie, guide kids through humorous stories that teach topics in social studies, science, math, ELA, and more—allowing them to feel connected to their learning, gain key knowledge that’ll help them in school (and beyond), and laugh (and laugh and laugh).
Animated movies—with a real-life impact
Movies
Movies in BrainPOP Jr. feature Moby and Annie as they give young learners entertaining and foundational knowledge in 300+ K-3 topics across a wide range of subjects—from compound words and congruent shapes to the rainforest and Mae Jemison.
Easy/Hard Quiz
With multiple choice quizzes connected to the movie, kids can practice and apply their newfound knowledge in a low-stakes way—while also giving you a baseline understanding of how much they’re learning.
Draw About It
Let kids express themselves through Draw About It. In this creative activity, kids are given a prompt related to the movie—such as “Draw something you are curious about and want to explore” —and given free reign to show what they know in their own way.
Belly Up and Pop a Joke
Harness the educational power of humor through Belly Up and Pop a Joke, a comic book and joke that are relevant to the movie, educationally accurate, and tons of fun. You’ll be hearing these educational jokes for days!
… and additional support for all learners!
Embedded tools—like movie transcripts, speed adjustments, Microsoft Immersive Reader, and Multilingual movie player—help all kids, regardless of their educational needs, access the material and feel confident in their learning.
WHAT’S INSIDE?
Learning that grows with your child
Choose between two at-home learning solutions: BrainPOP Jr.—best for kids in Kindergarten through 3rd grade—and BrainPOP, best for 3rd through 8th grade. Each of the 1,200+ topics inside BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. includes movies, educational activities and learning games built specifically to engage and challenge each age group.
WHY IT WORKS
The learning science behind our fun and games
While it may seem like fun and games, everything on BrainPOP is rooted in research and carefully constructed to teach kids the way they learn best.
For example: research shows that stories make abstract or complex concepts easier to digest by providing context and making them relatable to personable experiences. That’s why BrainPOP’s animation and characters are so effective: they create a visually engaging and relatable learning environment that caters to kids’ unique needs and help them confidently understand intimidating topics.
WHY IT MATTERS
Trusted by schools, in your home
Fun fact: BrainPOP is best known for being a resource beloved by schools, teachers, and students across the nation for the last 25 years. This means that—with each BrainPOP learning experience—you’re giving your child an experience trusted by schools for its ability to build comprehension, develop essential skills, and entertain a classroom full of students.

My Kindergartener loves BrainPOP Jr. He's always eager to watch the videos…BrainPOP has piqued his interest in science and history (most recently, Egyptology and the Solar System), [and] is instilling a love of learning in my son—and that is priceless!
Sam L.
As a mom, I [give my kids] limited time on electronics each day. They choose BrainPOP over all the other options. They really enjoy it and they learn so much. I hear them talking amongst themselves and with friends [about it]—it is amazing the information that they have learned…!
R. Woods
I could not have imagined the big hit this [would be] at our home. My daughter and son love BrainPOP—they do it on their own without any prodding from me. I could not ask for anything more! Please do try it and see for yourselves. I should have subscribed earlier.
B. Ang
Our family loves BrainPOP. The videos are well done and my kids enjoy watching them….the only problem is getting them to stop! [I love that] the characters are entertaining and not condescending at all…[plus,] the children retain what they have learned because the characters are engaging and relevant.
Laura L.
My son absolutely loves BrainPOP. He has been exposed to so many topics that he never would have explored on his own. The videos are great information pieces, but what really makes it worth it are the related games available after the video. I'm completely shocked by how much my son has learned in the 2 months he's been [using it]...
