Little Einsteins is an animated educational preschool television series on Playhouse Disney which began as a direct-to-video movie.

Little Einsteins is designed to teach the target demographic (preschoolers) art and music appreciation by integrating famous or culturally significant art works (usually, but not exclusively, paintings) and classical music (most typically from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods) into the scenery, plot, and soundtrack of each episode. The show is also designed to encourage viewer interaction (such as patting their legs, gesturing, or singing along to help the characters succeed on their “mission”).

Little Einsteins features four children (two boys and two girls) — Leo, June, Quincy, and Annie — along with their intelligent and transformable space/air/water-craft, “Rocket”. In each episode they embark on an adventure (or “mission”) to solve some problem or help a new friend. These missions take them to far-flung locations including foreign countries and “extreme” environments such as Antarctica, underwater, or outer space. In some episodes, Rocket’s nemesis “Big Jet” tries to steal something from them or beat them to a goal. The characters’ respective talents and participation of the audience are required to surmount various obstacles to completing the mission. Each episode concludes with a “curtain call” crediting the team members, ancillary characters, and reviewing the featured art and music selections. The curtain call became a song in Season 2.
