Kleine Einsteins

I gotta say this. I LOVE LITTLE EINSTEINS BC THEY ARE LITERALLY MY FAVS!! I remember watching this when i was a little girlie! This has definitely gotta be the most underrated and cutest show ever made on disney lol, i just love june bc she likes purple and to dance cutely. I love purple and i love pink as well as annie does, shes my primarily 1st new favorite character bc shes a cutie like june lol. Heheh, ive always heard of it like i said, leo was my primary fav since i was so little. I watched it all the time in may 2024, that was LITERALLY my primary fav little einsteins moment lol.i gotta be the fan of it...

This show was made after I was older than it's target demographic but I found it pretty fascinating.

There is something very enticing about the zeitgeist (I think that's the right word) that pervades this show; the romanticism of the education we want to give our child, that hypothetical, photo-that-comes-with-the-frame family life where you enjoy "classical" music (it's all pretty greatest hits) with your little one against the backdrop of the country idyll.

I didn't watch this avidly, don't think I ever fanboyed out over this, but formulaic storytelling notwithstanding, there was something naively positive about this show. They managed to be conspicuously educational AND pseudo-interactive without being obnoxious about it. Maybe it was the vibrant landscapes (often famous painting) and the presence of the well aged music but this multi-racial band of unsupervised prepubescents was singularly charming once in a while.

The one with red hair and glasses is the leader! Us with glasses can be cool too!! There's also this weirdly sultry girl who always wears ballet gear (hey, it was a different time...) I sort of love how they unsubtly put polysyllables into their dialogue ("your so courageous!").

I also can't not respect making sure young people know proper musical nomenclature. Don't waste our time with how to change a tire, I need to know my rallantando from ritardando!

Easy to make fun of, you could do so much worse.

I first saw this was coming when I saw a preview DVD attached to another Disney movie. I was expecting it to be crap. No one in my family has ever cared for those "Baby Einstein's" videos. IMO they're not much more than glorified screen savers. They were too dull to ever keep the attention of my older son and we never really tried with my youngest. We never watched that preview DVD. You can expose your children to classical music by just putting the CD on and playing with them or turn on your own wind up toy, not sit them in front of a screen to watch it, save the money of the DVD. We started seeing commercials on Disney Channel. When it aired we decided to watched it as it was looking like it could be good. We were amazed to completely fall in love with it!. It's not just playing classical music for the heck of it, it teaches the concept of who the composer is. It teaches about fine art. It teaches the most basic level of music, my kids are learning music terms like Adagio, Forte, Diminuendo and on and on. And all the while the kids are on an adventure that keeps the interest of my children. One other thing I really like about this show is that it does not talk down to the children watching it. It does not have that condescending tone a lot of children's shows have (Barney is the worst offender in my book-to this day my kids still hate him!). It treats a child with respect and not as if they're stupid. It's one thing to talk simple to a child, it's another to talk down to them. I've taken it a step further in that I found all the pieces of music featured in the show so they can hear the entire piece. Now they'll hear the piece elsewhere and recognize it. So completely worth your time!

Were Going on a trip on our favourite rocketship zooming through the sky Little Einsteins.

I grew up loving this show & I still do. I'm quite sad it's over though. This seems to actually be educational. It's entertaining for the kids but also nostalgic for me
