Today, we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of one of my favorites and also my childhood show on Playhouse, Disney: The Little Einsteins!
On this day, October 9, 2005, exactly 20 years:
"Little Einsteins," a live-action/animated children's television series developed by Douglas Wood, debuts on Playhouse Disney with the episodes "I Love to Conduct" & "Ring Around the Planet."
The series follows the adventures of a team of four young children: Leo, June, Quincy, and Annie. Together, they travel around the world in Rocket, a red rocket ship, and undertake various missions, with the goal of solving a problem, helping someone, or finding something. Every mission introduces preschoolers to a classic song and a famous painting.
The voice cast features -
Jesse Schwartz as Leo
Erica Huang as June
Aiden Pompey as Quincy
Kirsty Hickey as Annie
The characters are named after notable entertainment figures - Annie: jazz singer Annie Ross, Leo: conductor Leopold Stokowski Quincy: musician Quincy Jones, and June: choreographer June Taylor.
"Little Einsteins" first debuted with the direct-to-video release "Our Huge Adventure" on August 23, 2005.
The series, the highest-rated premiere for a preschool television show on Playhouse Disney, will run for 2 seasons through December 2009.
In my experience, this shows taught me about the values of art and classical music. Little Einsteins raised me when I was a kid. Really love it! Happy 20th Little Einsteins!
