DVD Disney's Little Einsteins - Our Big Huge Adventure
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
Review(s): DVD Disney's Little Einsteins - Our Big Huge Adventure
My boy loves it!
He must have watched it over 100 times. I bought it when he just turned 2, around 4 months ago. He understands the story, he follows the scene and he uses the phrased he learned from it.
We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship, zooming through the skies...
Ok, I know the words to all the songs, I'll admit it. My 1 yr old loves this movie!!! I work from home so I need something to occupy him for a little while. He "sings" along with it and even yells "blast-off" when Rocket takes off. (well ok, he yells bla bla, but he's only one) It's a fun movie and a life saver. They have to help the caterpillar turn into a butterfly and then they have to help him migrate to Mexico. Now whenever he sees a butterfly he "sings" the butterfly song. great movie!
Great learning show
I sincerely hope Disney continues to produce this show. My 3 1/2 and 19 month old are both huge fans! The episodes of Little Einsteins have my daughter placing sheet music on our piano with special requests. She now knows some key music terms and has Vivaldi's Four Seasons in her bedroom stereo. I love this series!

Classical music and famous artwork might not sound like the most promising recipe for a children's show, but this trio of Little Einsteins episodes makes music and art exciting and accessible to children ages two to seven. Little Einsteins' Leo, Annie, Quincy and June are known for their world-traversing missions, but "How We Became the Little Einsteins" tells the story of how a small rocket ship hanging from Leo's crib mobile initially inspired the group's first mission. Naturally, that mission takes the group around the world, exposing them to the music of Antonin Dvorak and the art of John Singer Sargent, and acquainting them with important musical concepts like high and low and accelerando. "I Love to Conduct" follows a bald eagle with Leo's baton in its clutches to... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 25 April 2006 Usually ships in 24 hours

Fine artwork, classical music, and destinations around the world are the order of the day for the Little Einsteins, a group of musically-minded children who travel the world in their trusty rocket ship looking for adventure. Each of these three CGI animated adventures encourages viewers ages 2 to 7 to get involved by clapping along and promotes the development of careful listening skills and an understanding of basic musical terminology. In "The Birthday Machine," June, Leo, Quincy, Annie, and Rocket can't wait to construct a birthday machine, but their quest for parts takes them deep within Michelangelo Buonarroti's painting "The Laurentian Library" and then on a gondola ride through the canals of Venice where they chase and order specific melodic fragments from Johann Sebastian...

My child is 6 mos and so far this is his favorite BE show and sometimes the only thing that settles him. He's seen Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and the Dr. Doolittle vids but thus far he's been really intrigued on all levels with this one only; I believe that's because he likes Matlin doing the signing and the many times children are on screen. The music in it is actually quite good for being, well, not hardcore orchestra as far as orchestras go. It also keeps me from wanting to rip my hair out from listening to it too much since, as I stated before, it can sometimes be the only that keeps him calm and distracted from the pains of teething. This video has also saved my arms and back from holding him for a consecutive 2 hrs a day as a result of one viewing keeping him interested in other...
