Little Einsteins ( Engl. Little Einsteins ) is an American animated series of The Walt Disney Company . It was produced from 2005 to 2009 and has 67 episodes in 2 seasons of 22 minutes each.

Content and conception

The series takes place in the world of music and art. Friends Leo, Quincy, Annie and June experience many adventures all over the world with their Rocket aircraft . The audience is asked to support the heroes by singing, dancing or clapping along. Before they leave for a mission, Leo calls for people to clap their hands on their thighs so that Rocket gets enough drive to take off.

Each episode deals with a selected painting and a piece of music by a famous composer. At the beginning of each episode, a stage can be seen on which the four friends introduce what pieces the episode will be about. Then they travel to the most diverse countries, where they repeatedly come across elements from the images and excerpts from the melodies that they had previously announced.

On their adventures, there are always some tasks to solve, always with the appeal to the audience to advise, research and actively participate. In addition, the little Einstein's explain terms from the fields of art and music, such as Adagio .

When the adventurers have completed a mission, Leo swings his baton and says: "Mission ended". Then they gather again on the stage and present the works of art from the episode again.
