Editorial Reviews

Welcome aboard as the Little Einstein team embarks on its maiden musical learning adventure (this DVD anticipates a Playhouse Disney series). A next-generation spin-off of the Baby Einstein franchise, Little Einsteins belongs to the "we need you" genre of interactive preschool programs such as Dora the Explorer and Blue's Clues. All the Little Einsteins love music. Leo conducts, June dances, Quincy plays instruments, and Annie sings. In Our Huge Adventure, the children board their trusty, gadget-equipped Rocket to transport a wayward caterpillar to the Musical Tree of Many Colors, where it can become a butterfly. Next stop, a caveside mailbox to retrieve the butterfly's invitation to his family party in Mexico. The Little Einstein team zooms past such national landmarks as the Statue of Liberty and Niagara Falls. The classical soundtrack features the music of Beethoven, with repeated renditions of the "Ode to Joy" theme. The series' distinctive look combines animation, live action, computer-generated backgrounds, and replications of artwork by Van Gogh (Wheat Field of Cypress) and Monet (Woman in a Garden). Musical terms are introduced to monitor Rocket's progress (allegro for faster, adagio for slower). Listening and observational skills also come into play. With its likable characters and encouraging and nurturing spirit, Little Einsteins looks to be huge!-
