Little Einsteins is an exciting, educational program created by Disney and Baby Einstein that combines animation, real-life photography, and famous music and artwork with instantly likeable characters who have a passion for music and adventure. In this DVD prelude to the Playhouse Disney series (premier October 2005), Leo, June, Quincy, Annie, and Rocket set out to help a little caterpillar find the musical tree of many colors so that it can become a beautiful butterfly. The journey proves complex, but the ever-cheerful group uses their musical knowledge, careful listening skills, and ingenuity to ensure success. Beethoven's famous Ninth Symphony is featured extensively throughout the 61-minute program and viewers ages 3 to 7 are encouraged to sing and clap along as they learn about rhythm, melody, musical terms and careful listening skills. Viewers also delve, quite literally, into the artwork of masters that include Van Gogh and Monet, visit American cities and wildernesses, and get a first-hand look at the amazing butterfly migration down the East Coast of the United States to Mexico. DVD Bonus features include a "Navajo Maze Game" that tests listening skills; "DisneyPedia," a more in-depth look at Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the cities visited in the program, and the annual butterfly migration; and "Backstage Disney: Meet the Team" with more information about the show's main characters. --Tami Horiuchi

If you are not familiar with the Little Einstein series, you really should take a look. Not like alot of Disney's other banal TV productions, this show really has merits.
I mean how can you not like a show that has your children yelling staccato and legato, adagio and allegro. And knowing what these terms mean!
Children are taught that music has `layers' and that the musical `themes' can be representative of a particular character or action. For example, a crescendo may help the sun rise, or a wave get bigger.
In addition, children are introduced to fine art, architecture, and landmarks from around the world. Examples (not necessarily from this video) include works from Gaughan, Monet, the Seattle Space Needle, the Great Sphynx, Antartica, the Great Wall of China....
Five Stars. A wonderful introduction to fine art and classical music that 'sticks' with young children. The stories combine fun, kid adventures and elements of music and art in a way that seems very natural and memorable.
Plot for this video:
For their first mission, Annie, Leo, Quincy, June and Rocket help a little caterpillar become a beautiful Monarch butterfly.
Music: Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
Artist: Van Gogh, Monet, Hokusai
Real-world destinations: New York City, Oklahoma, and Texas.

No need for me to repeat what others have said. If your babies love the Baby Einstein series and have outgrown it then they will love this. My 2 y.o. daughter loooooved the Einstein videos and now she loves this. She adores the show and screams when she can't watch it. It is so wonderful how they introduce a composer and artist of the day. This is truly an educational show in a more genuine way than many of the others that claim to be. Unfortunately this is the one and only Little Einsteins available for sale. My daughter has watched it already 20 times at least. The tv show comes on twice a day here but I think we've seen all of them. I was dissappointed they did not have any Little Einstein toys or videos out for Christmas as it is what my daughter wants the most!

My 15 month old is a huge fan of the whole Baby Einstein series, and loves all the DVD's and musical CD's that he's been watching since he was a few months old. Little Einsteins is a great transition for toddlers. It's playful and fun, but is also educational and continues the BE classical music and art theme. The talking and interaction with the watcher is also great, and more advanced than the original BE videos. If your child is an Einstein fan, or you want to get your older kid into a great education cartoon - this is it.
