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

Disney's Little Einsteins is a musical adventure for pre-kindergarten children. It is written and produced by the creators of the Baby Einstein videos and earns the same excellent reputation for educating and entertaining at the same time. The show follows four musically gifted youngsters (Annie sings, Leo conducts, Quincey plays many instruments, and June dances) as they go on "missions" with their musical friend, Rocket. The show teaches children musical terms (crescendo, staccato, etc.) and uses famous works of art and musical compositions in every episode. The missions are never scary and they are always interesting! The animation is darling, and I especially love that they use real children's voices for the characters-- it is so much more realistic! They also give plenty of "wait-time" after asking viewers to do something to give kids the chance to answer on their own! My daughter loves to pat along with the characters as Rocket takes off, and she sings and follows their directions for movement. Disney's Little Einsteins is a show I am HAPPY to share with my daughter!

Excellent show for small children. Has classical music content, including segments from Brahms, Mozart, Beethoven and others. Interactive sections for kids to clap along to and copy which encourages active rather than passive viewing. Fine art by renowned artists is also used in the cartoons as settings and scenes including works by Van Gogh, Klimt, Seuraat to name a few. Toddlers and preschoolers will find this entertaining and for regular viewers it has some common themes and reoccurring songs through the series. Toddlers love the music art and also the adventure aspect of the series. Every episode contains a "mission" in which the protagonists (4 little kids) have to solve a problem to reach the end.

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!
