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 Got A Mission!

 * 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) It introduces us to many famous composers (Ex. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.) and their famous classical music.
 * 9) The team also make up their own creative lyrics for the classical songs.
 * 10) It also introduces us to many famous paintings (Ex. Mona Lisa) and many famous painters.
 * 11) We also get to see the world with them.
 * 12) The team's friends communicate in music, which is very unique.
 * 13) The show seems to be similar to The Backyardigans but with humans and Disney. (This might remind you of Disney in some way).
 * 14) It's very adventurous.
 * 15) Catchy and timeless songs from classical music, especially the theme song that is decent, even though some find it annoying.
 * 16) 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.
 * 17) Season 2 added some features that are major improvements:
 * 18) * Annie's outfit changes color
 * 19) * The "Super Fast" segment in Season 2, which makes it the most likable and amazing feature.
 * 20) * The "That's Silly" Segments in Season 2 is hilarious (Depending on your point of view).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The pilot episode, Our Huge Adventure, wasn't that great.
 * 2) Annoying theme song (depending on your point of view).
 * 3) Some people find the repetition of the first few notes of a classical piece cheesy.
 * 4) The classical pieces are shoehorned by the childish lyrics made up by the Little Einsteins.
 * 5) Some geographical inaccuracies here there. For example, in The Great Sky Race Rematch, Rocket had instantly reached the Altai Mountains after swimming across the Pacific Ocean, then he bounced to the Sahara Desert, which had lied at the foothills of the Altai Mountains, which the Altai Mountains are in Central Asia while the Sahara Desert is in North Africa.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) Also, the somewhat lackluster content of characters as the Little Einsteins themselves and Rocket are the only characters that are pertinent, with bare minimum to the supporting characters.
 * 8) Mediocre characterization for the Little Einsteins, who sometimes talk down to their audience and treat them like Dora the Explorer would.
 * 9) The Little Einsteins always act like the problems they encounter are a big deal when they aren't.
 * 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 mainly about music and arts.
 * 11) The producers had to pay royalties in behalf of Albert Einstein's estate for legal purposes.
 * 12) The show doesn't feel Einstein enough because it has to do with music and arts rather than science (which the real Albert Einstein was known for).

Reception
When the series debuted with a prime time special, Little Einsteins became the highest preschool rating of any premiere in Playhouse Disney history (a 5.6 rating and 737,000 viewers 2-5).

 * Disney+ labels the series as Disney's Little Einsteins. The show is also described as "new" in its description for an unknown reason. The series is also listed as 2005-2006 (the airing length of season 1), although the series was cancelled in 2009.

 * When the show's main theme song was reworked into a hip hop beat, it gained loads of meme and popularity on places in 2015 (10 years after the show released) like Vine, likely as a result of the periphery demographic, where users post Vines of themselves dancing to a remix of the theme song.
 * In the UK version, Leo was voiced by Piers Stubbs, who a decade later would voice Eli in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
