Little Einsteins

Little Einsteins is an American interactive animated children's television series on Disney Junior. The educational children series was developed for television by Douglas Wood who created the concept and characters, and a subsequent team headed by Emmy Award-winning director Olexa Hewryk and JoJo's Circus co-creator Eric Weiner, and produced by Curious Pictures and The Baby Einstein Company. This series is aimed for children ages two to seven years old.

Plot
Four adventurous kids, Leo, Quincy, June, and Annie blast off in their versatile ship, Rocket, for missions all over the world. Fueled by classical music, well-known works of art and their own creativity, the Little Einsteins travel on unforgettable journeys while learning to appreciate the power of great music.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The voice acting can be annoying.
 * 2) Some people find the repetition of a few notes of a classical piece cheesy.
 * 3) The classical pieces are ruined by the childish lyrics made up by the Einsteins.
 * 4) Some geographical inaccuracies here there. For example, in "The Great Sky Race Rematch", Rocket instantly reaches the Altai Mountains after swimming across the Pacific Ocean, then he bounces to the Sahara Desert, which lies at the foothills of the Altai Mountains. The Altai Mountains are in Central Asia while the Sahara Desert is in North Africa.
 * 5) The fact that other humans besides the Little Einsteins or simply characters who can talk with words rather than music are not ever shown can be seen as rather weird.
 * 6) The somewhat lackluster content of characters as the Little Einsteins themselves and Rocket are the only characters that are present, with bare minimum to the supporting characters.
 * 7) Mediocre characterization for the Little Einsteins, who talk down to their audience and treat them like Dora the Explorer would.
 * 8) The Little Einsteins mostly act like the problems they encounter are a big deal when they aren't.
 * 9) Misleading Title: The show is called Little Einsteins, yet the person they are named after (Albert Einstein) was known for science. This show is about music and arts.
 * 10) The producers had to pay royalties in behalf of Albert Einstein's estate for legal purposes.
 * 11) Annoying theme song, despite that it’s catchy.
 * 12) Much like with Baby Einstein: Baby Galileo, Pluto is referred to in "A Galactic Goodnight" as one of the planets. This is no longer correct, as Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The groups (Leo, Quincy, June, and Annie) are all smart child prodigies.
 * 2) The Flash animation is wonderful as combined with some CGI animation to create them using Maya 3D software.
 * 3) There's a surprising number of real world shots in an animated show like this, and they're almost all ridiculously beautiful. The show's renditions of these real locations when it switches to a more animated look tend to be very true to form, and just as pretty.
 * 4) An awesome red rocket ship, especially with the faster-than-light space travel capacity.
 * 5) Cute and great voice acting of Jesse Schwartz (Leo), Natalia Wojcik (Annie), Aiden Pompey (Quincy), Erica Huang (June) and Harrison Chad (Leo, vocals).
 * 6) Very educational, as it focused and helps the viewers about the classical music and works of art geographical.
 * 7) A clever and mischievous villain by the name of Big Jet.
 * 8) The episode The Great Sky Race Rematch proved that Rocket doesn't want to give up, nor he is discouraged. Although he couldn't fly, he could still turn into a submarine, pogo bouncer and a train.
 * 9) Season 2 added some segments that can be nice to wait:
 * 10) *Annie's outfit changes color in Season 2, which is a major improvement to the show.
 * 11) *The "Super Fast" segment makes it the most likable and amazing element.
 * 12) *The "That's Silly" Segments can be hilarious (Depending on your point of view).

Reception
Little Einsteins received mixed reviews and currently holds a 6.2/10 on IMDb.

Trivia

 * The series was then presented at the 2005 Cartoons on the Bay Film Festival as running for 67 twenty-four-minute episodes as well.

 * What's wrong with your opinions on this childhood classic? While Little Einsteins is an alright, just several people find the theme song annoying, and it doesn't feel 'Einstein' enough, since Albert Einstein is a scientist and Little Einsteins is about arts and music, while Baby Einstein has more than just art and music, including science to very young children. The look and feel of the show was slightly similar to other kid TV shows. NostalgicABao (talk) 16:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

BTW, it would be interesting if Cartoon Network aired Little Einsteins, right.

 * I know. They could've put Little Einsteins on Cartoonito instead of that Menace (Caillou). And Super Why too.If Super Why ended it's run on PBS and moved to that channel. Also, a picture of the lost 2016 reboot of Little Einsteins was founded by an unknown user, but the picture itself is in extremely low-quality. Also, I kinda remember seeing SpongeBob on Cartoon Network On Demand in 2016 and there was an episode with the Cartoon Network ripple logo at the end after the MGM Television logo! That was probably a dream however. NostalgicABao (talk) 14:14, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Please don't bash the owner's opinion on this show. That's against the rules of this wiki

And don't claim that a show is a rip-off of another when they have no bearing on each other, which is worse than bashing the owner's opinion, such as claiming that Super Why! is a rip-off to Little Einsteins. NostalgicABao (talk) 21:04, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm not saying this show is a ripoff to another. I personally think that despite being owned by the Baby Einstein company, it has little to no connection with the franchise other than the classical music

 * While the creators of Baby Einstein made the Little Einsteins, it's just that it doesn't feel Einstein enough unlike Baby Einstein and I don't find it half as enjoyable to watch as the original Baby Einstein itself (especially 1997-2004), the franchise that was the inspiration for the development for that.

This is a recreation of the combo from at least one episode of SpongeBob SquarePants  on Cartoon Network On Demand in 2016: United Plankton Pictures/MGM Television/Cartoon Network Productions (2004/2016) they strangely used the Cartoon Network ripple at the end of the program! Maybe it plastered the Cartoon Network On Demand bumper?
