There have been famous silver screen pairings over the years who have made our hearts beat faster: Rhett and Scarlett, Bogart and Bergman, Harry and Sally…

Tim & Moby?

Yes, who knew that our dynamic duo could pluck on heart strings across the world in such famous movies as…

Poetry

Poetry – Our free featured movie today! Let Tim & Moby give you the poetry low-down.

Heart

Heart – Why not watch the movie and let Tim & Moby tell you how it all works? We’ve made it free for today so take advantage.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare – he not only authored 154 sonnets, but he gave us Romeo, Juliet, Henry V and Richard III, and they all get name dropped in our movie by our favourite pair.

Statistics

Statistics – An estimated 12 million Valentine’s cards will be delivered today.

Fossils

Fossils – Roses, the traditional flower of love, are one of the oldest flowers. Fossils dating back several million years have been discovered.

Venus

Venus – the Greek goddess of love and beauty (and also the planet you can learn about today on BrainPOP!)

Birds

Honeybees

And last but certainly not least, what is love without the Birds and Bees?

We’re big Star Wars fans here at BrainPOP UK. Well, we do have our very own robot, who seems slightly obsessed by the movies.

Today is May 4th (“May the 4th be with you” Get it?) and that means it’s “Star Wars day“! So in tribute to Luke, Han, Leia and the Gang we’ve hunted down some Star Wars references in our movies. There’s a few more though – can you find them?

May the Force be with you, young Padawans.

Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day…or is it?

Well, we love BrainPOP (obviously) and loooove Tim & Moby so we penned a little something for the romance of it all. Ah, the robomance!

Sonnet BP, Shall we watch Tim & Moby at school today?

Shall we watch Tim & Moby at school today?
He art so orange and robotic.
A ticking clock could stop our BrainPOP play,
For English lessons hath all too few minutes.
Sometimes our time is too confined,
And often is Moby’s gold complexion dimmed;
And off we must go to other lessons,
No BrainPOP there, because it’s gym.
But Moby’s gold complexion shall not fade
Nor lose possession of his funny ways;
Nor shall a slow server keep him down,
For Tim & Moby like to keep it short,
So long as we have 5 minutes spare,
Tim & Moby can show us Poetry with flair.

Not a robomantic? You can view all of these fab and totally unrobomantic movies all rather tenuously linked to the big V day…

Heart – we all have one, and they’ll be dotted about here, there and everywhere this week so why not watch the movie and let Tim & Moby tell you how it all works.

Poetry – let Tim & Moby give you the poetry low-down. Bonus points if you spot the sci-fi reference. Poetry isn’t always robomantic.

William Shakespeare – he not only authored 154 sonnets, but he gave us Romeo, Juliet, Henry V and Richard III, and they all get name dropped in our movie by our favourite pair.

Venus – the Greek goddess of love and beauty (and also a planet you can learn about today on BrainPOP!)

Pollination – last but certainly not least, what is love without the birds and bees?

Thanks for reading. Why not let Moby know you love him too? Post a valentine’s message on our Facebook fan page and we’ll make sure he gets it.

He may even respond. Though, we can’t guarantee he’ll pen you an ode.
