What a Pampered Class Our Kids Are Today!
They are brighter, more visually oriented, and more computer-savvy -- resulting in bigger movies, flashier animation, shinier products, pricier clothes, faster games, funnier toys – and Humongous Profits! Kids’ movies are a multi billion dollar business that drives profits up for the entire industry. More popcorn and soft drink sales, movie tie-ins, product plugs, Soundtrack and DVD sales, movie rentals and downloads, and stunning overseas profits! Warner Bros. raked in $475.6 million worldwide during opening weekend of the new Harry Potter flick, and Mattel’s Q2 profits jumped 56% on sales tied to Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 and related sales for Toy Story 3, plus hot sales for Barbie.

Our music is perfect for toy embed, fashion commercials, cereal adverts, Back-to-School promos, and productions appealing to all ages – toddlers, adolescents, teens and tweens.

Wintery tales of dark mysteries, black magic, diabolical witches and sorcerers -- or a Cinderella tale of romance, it's all here! Game music for your Playstation or epic adventure tale, all to amuse and challenge teens and tweens as they enter Medieval worlds where Voodoo is more common than a cold and deadlier, too! The Ice Queen's here, Gremlins are everywhere, and the forest is verrry dark...
 
Fun Time Play Time
Jumping jacks, skipping rope, or blowing spitballs -- our AudioSparx Composers (who were young once!) have cranked up some playful tracks that are quirkier than Quacking Ducks and antsier than Anteaters. An Irish Dancer, a Hound Doggy, a Paris Lullaby, Salsa and Bossa for Kids, and enough Skiddle Skaddle and Bla Bla to make for jumpy commercials and tuneful cartoons, comedies and movies...
 
Fun Children's Vocals
Riding a cock horse to Banbury Cross, sneaky spies, peck-peck turkeys, and pirates galore -- Yo Ho Ho... Fun kids or adults singing their hearts out, showing children how to dream big, brush their teeth, save the Earth, or deal with bullies. Lively, trendy educational music makes learning fun and memorable. Perfect for Back-to-School promos, toons, comedies, cereal adverts, or rainy day projects.
 
Lullabies for Babies and Toddlers
Twinkling stars, delicate bells and chimes, and restful and serene melodies -- perfect for Films, TV shows and Radio productions depicting new babies with warmth and tenderness. Elegant layette and nursery product promos, Pampers and Wipes, baby food adverts, toy embeds, branding campaigns, and website theme songs -- all for tiny, lovable infants and their Moms and Dads around the world.
 
Elegant and Sweet Music Box Tunes
Is that an ice cream truck rolling through the neighborhood? Or maybe it's just Mom or Dad cranking up sweet tunes for Baby... The brilliant artists at AudioSparx have created Music Box melodies to help babies and toddlers enjoy a play date, a restful nap, or go beddy-bye to fall asleep. All nestled in bed and dreaming of sugarplums, tooth fairies, ladybugs, or a warm and soothing milk baba.
 
Country Music for Kids Productions
Saddle up your painted pony and do the Delta Stroll or toss your dog a Boneo, as them thar fidgety fiddles and strumming banjos tickle your funny bone. Opie and Aunt Bea would adore this music! A Little Whistling Tune, Kids Reggae, and the Schoolyard Stomp make for happy movies, toe-tapping intros, frisky film credits, folksy comedies, and down-home, small-town commercials for Fun Kids Stuff...
 
Circus, Carnival and Amusement Park Theme Music
The Big Top is coming to town! In the center ring are clowns, dancing bears, trapeze artists, and tigers leaping through rings of fire! With both contemporary and vintage circus music and a few diabolical tracks, we have fun-time calliopes, organs, bouncy marches, intros for the elephants, and wacky music for Tilt-a-Whirls and Ferris Wheels -- all for splendid Fairs and Amusement Park themes.
 
Orchestral Mischief
There's some dirty, sneaky, low-down mischief afoot here -- sneaking up behind you and playing mind games and aggressive little tricks! Some orchestral surprises may be hiding behind the door on the left, then POW! -- they jump out and get'cha! Between the Squirrels, a Bad Kitty and the funny Honey Bee, little birds chirp as a Tinkly Fairy walks by.
 
Cartoons, Comedy and Storytime Music
Whether it's those playful and mischievous Italians, the Crazy Swedes, or the Desperate Housecats from America, you're in for lots of giggles, sweet innocence and quirkiness. Big brass hits, tipsy tubas, ticklish marimbas, and whimsical whistles. From Detective Tales to a Duck Battalion or Chasing Pigs, kids around the world will develop a welcoming kinship with music from AudioSparx!
 
Sound Effects for Kids' Movies, Toons, Comedies and Toys
Need giggling girls, bawling babies, or boing-boing springs, annoying squeaks, and arcade madness?
