The Little Einsteins are a talented group of musically-inclined, preschool-age friends who just happen to have a rocket ship named Rocket for a friend and a knack for helping those in need. In this animated adventure, it's up to Leo, Annie, Quincy, and June to preserve music around the world by traveling to Russia to free the magical Firebird from the grip of a music-hating ogre named Katschai. Set to themes from Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird" and featuring the art of Wassily Kandinsky, Faberge eggs, and Matryoshka Nesting Dolls, this full-length Little Einsteins adventure conveys the basic gist of Stravinsky's "Firebird" ballet in which the Firebird casts a spell of energetic dance and sleep upon the creatures of a magical kingdom. Prominent musical themes are emphasized by linking them to specific onscreen characters and their actions and basic musical terms like adagio and allegro are introduced while the Little Einsteins promote friendship, cooperation, and compassion and engage the active participation of young viewers by encouraging them to clap, sing, dance, and pretend to play musical instruments. The bonus episode "Rocket Soup" emphasizes teamwork and introduces orchestral instruments with the help of Dvorak's "Humoresque No. 7" and Paul Klee's painting "Moonrise." Engage the "Magic Mission Mode" and children can view "Rocket's Firebird Rescue" with animated pop-up facts. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi Go on an adventure with Little Einsteins in this interactive animated series. With the help of their spaceship named Rocket, these kids solve mysteries and make discoveries. This time, June, Leo, Annie, and Quincy travel to Russia in Rocket to rescue Firebird. The world misses Firebird's music, and the Little Einsteins will use their brains to save Rocket's feathered friend. ROCKET'S FIREBIRD RESCUE is based on Igor Stravinsky's ballet named FIREBIRD. Special Features: Full Frame - 1.33 Audio: Dolby Digital - English Year of Release: 2007 Review: So amazing! Buy them all!!! - I LOVE these so much!!! My daughter is now 5 and has been watching Little Einstein’s since she was 2 and she still loves them, along with now her 2 yr old brother! They are so educational, teaching about great classical music, classic art pieces, classic stories and tales, instruments and their names and sounds, different vocal ranges and tones, animals, counting, they travel to different countries, animal migration patterns.... the list goes on, and basically it’s amazing!! There’s nothing else out there like it. My kids surprise me constantly with things they’re learning and I’ll ask where they learned it from and they’ll say this show! Don’t hesitate, buy them all, you will not regret it 😉 Review: Eductional and entertaining! - All of the Little Einstiens are great but his one is especially full of lessons about science, art , and music! We are raising a sharp little girl who can recognize many instrument sounds and name places in the world where these little characters take their rocket ship. My husband and I are both art teachers so we are all about exposure to the arts. She is only four now, but we know this knowledge will stick with her for a lifetime! I took this one to the music teacher in our school and she uses it when she has a substitute teacher.

Little Einstein from Amazon (dvd)
I bought this for my grandson to watch. He is 3yr's old. When I pick him up from school it's first the Apple Juice then on goes Little Einstein. He loves the music and the way they present the learning part of it. I like it because it's not some dumb cartoon that is a waste of time, and there are a lot of them out there. That is another reason I keep coming back to Amazon. I know I can get what I want and know they will take care of any question I have.

Good, but too much padding
My 2-year-old son is a huge fan of Little Einsteins, or, as he calls them, the "Steins!" He loves this movie and we let him watch it on rare occassions where we need to keep him occupied for a full hour. My son loves the movie and dances, sings and does everything else along with the movie, so clearly it engages him. I am sure he would give it five stars. From the parent perspective, though, it seems like they made an hour long episode by repeating things seven times instead of three times. And each Little Einstein gets to show off his or her unique talent, instead of focusing on one person like they do on a TV episode. As a result, it feels like an overlong TV episode. Of course, the TV episodes are great, so this is not really a criticism other than to say that if you watch it with your child, you will likely get a little bored and start wishing they would move the story along. Like I said, the repitition does not bother my son, the intended audience, one bit. Overall, if your child is a fan of the Little Einsteins, I am sure he or she will love this movie. But it is probably not one you will want to sit down and watch with your child over and over.

Little Einsteins DVD
My 2 1/2 year old grandson is addicted to Little Einsteins, and of all of them, this was a particular favorite. He can watch this over and over, ad nauseam... but they are intelligent videos in their own little 'appeal-to-toddler' way, and Disney did a good thing here. Granted they are very formulaic, but the target audience is munchkin sized. Definitely a good purchase.

Fun and Educational
Always a good choice exciting and educational for the little ones. Keeps my 21 month old son attention the entire video.I put him his highchair and feed him lunch he doesn't even realize he has eaten his vegetables that he thinks are so yucky any other time lol

Great classic. A must have
A great classic. My 3 years old wants to watch this over and over. She knows all the songs, even makes up her own with the same tune. Highly recommend it! No more renting the DVD for one dollar at the video store with a late fee every other week.

Kids love Rocket's Firebird Rescue
My four-year-old daughter loves the Firebird sequence at the end of Fantasia 2000 [DVD ] and listens to the Firebird score endlessly. I searched Amazon for a DVD version of the ballet and found this Little Einsteins DVD which seemed a good bargain. What a great idea! It's a little more age-appropriate than the ballet, and she is absolutely delighted with it, and her sister (15 months) claps her hands when she hears the music. There's little point reviewing the non-plot (Rocket rescues the Firebird from the evil ogre and everyone lives happily ever after, even the ogre), but the DVD offers plenty of scope for talking with her about the way the same music can be used to tell two different stories (Fantasia's fairy tale with the firebird as antagonist or the Little Einstein's firebird rescue story with the firebird as a generally meek character), and looking at pictures of Fabergé eggs, Matryoshka dolls and Russian architecture. Highly recommended.
