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.

Why It's Not Going On a Trip

 * 1) The pilot episode, Our Huge Adventure, wasn't that great.
 * 2) Some people may find the theme song annoying.
 * 3) Some people find the repetition of the first few notes of a classical piece cheesy.
 * 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 disturbing.
 * 6) The somewhat lackluster content of characters as the Little Einsteins themselves and Rocket are the only characters that are permanent, with bare minimum to the supporting characters.
 * 7) Poor characterization for the Little Einsteins, who talk down to their audience and treat them like Dora the Explorer would.
 * 8) The Little Einsteins always act like the problems they encounter are a big deal when they aren't.
 * 9) The classical pieces are ruined by the childish lyrics made up by the Einsteins.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) The producers had to pay royalties in behalf of Albert Einstein's estate for legal purposes.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The Flash animation is wonderful as combined with some CGI animation to create them using Maya 3D software.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) An awesome red rocket ship, especially with the faster-than-light space travel capacity.
 * 4) Cute and great voice acting of Jesse Schwartz (Leo), Natalia Wojcik (Annie), Aiden Pompey (Quincy), Erica Huang (June) and Harrison Chad (Leo, vocals).
 * 5) Very educational, as it focused and helps the viewers about the classical music and works of art geographical.
 * 6) A clever and mischievous villain by the name of Big Jet.
 * 7) It's a major improvement over the Baby Einstein direct-to-video films.

Reception
Little Einsteins received mixed reviews and currently holds a 6.2/10 on IMDb. The team also make up their own creative lyrics for the classical songs.
