What Parents Need to Know

About Disney's Little Einsteins: Rocket's Firebird Rescue

Parents need to know that this DVD will introduce kids to classical music, culture, and international locations. Older children may find it fairly repetitive, but younger kids will delight in the interactive nature of the movie. They may be a bit scared of the mean ogre, but most of the "villains" -- such as the smiling toy soldiers -- are pretty innocuous.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the Little Einsteins work together to solve problems. Why is it important to work as a team? What did you learn about Russia and about music? What do the musical terms "crescendo" and "diminuendo" mean? Where was Igor Stravinsky born? What are nesting dolls?

    fun for young kids

    I loved this new Little Einsteins video! My two young children love to watch it and were especially impressed with the catchy lyrics. I like the fact that its the first DVD since Our Big Huge Adventure that includes an episode I can't TIVO. Not scary for my little ones...I say it was wonderful!

    Scary

    My kids love the Little Einsteins, but this one was very disappointing. They barely made it through without crying and there have been nightmares ever since. So buy at your own risk, this one is very scary for young kids.
