What it does well

Short movies introduce a topic quickly, and each one comes with a quiz and activities to check what stuck.
One plan covers up to four children, and the parent can set assignments with due dates and see auto-graded results.
With over 800 topics, it is easy to find a movie for whatever a child is studying in another program.
A two-week free trial lets you try it before paying.

Watch for

It is a set of topics, not a sequenced course, so it fits beside a main curriculum rather than in place of one.
Assignments, projects and the parent dashboard work on a desktop only; on iOS children get the movies and quizzes.
The Homeschool plan starts at 3rd grade; younger children need the more costly plan with BrainPOP Jr.
Plans are yearly subscriptions, so the cost comes round every year.

It fits

A family that wants short, lively videos to introduce or review topics alongside its main books, for several children at once.

It doesn’t fit

A family looking for a complete course with a lesson for every day, or one that wants little screen time.

What we read, and how we label

Every fact on a card was read on the publisher's own website on the date shown, and the page it came from is linked. A fact we could not confirm there is left out. Costs are for one child and one year of the main package, as the publisher's page showed them that day; prices and sales change. Method and format are the publisher's own description where it gives one. The only thing we say about religion is one label, secular or faith-based, given by the rule above; where the publisher's pages don't settle it, the card has no label.
