What Parents Need to Know

About Little Einsteins

Parents need to know that this show uses art, photography, and classical music as a colorful backdrop for the adventures of four precocious young friends. They make discoveries, work as a team, and use their special musical talents. They call upon the interactive help of the viewer to accomplish each mission. Parents may note the similarities to media produced by the Baby Einstein Company. Disney bought this company in 2001 and teamed up with their creators to produce a show using a similar philosophy of artistic visuals and stimulating classical music to enhance brain development and learning.

    Boring, but beautiful

    It is a really nice show, beautiful music, beautiful scenery, but it is overall just very bland. My 3 year old will always ask to change the channel if this comes on. Very disapointing.
