''Little Einsteins'' is a preschool edutainment show based on the Baby Einstein brand. It was created by Baby Einstein and Curious Pictures. It debuted direct-to-video in August of 2005 and later on the Playhouse Disney block of Creator/DisneyChannel in October of the same year, then ended its run in mid-2010, quickly becoming one of the most popular shows on the block shortly after its debut with multiple reruns afterwards airing from ''2011 to 2019'' until it finally settled down as one of the many streamed shows in Creator/DisneyPlus. Little Einsteins focuses on the adventures of four gifted, young children, Leo, June, Quincy and Annie as they travel around the world in their friend Rocket and go on adventures called missions.

* OriginsEpisode: "How We Became the Little Einsteins: The True Story".

%% * ThereAreNoAdults: Combined with InvisibleParents.

** The Mean Queen from ''The Song of the Unicorn'' has a change of heart when apologizing to the Conductor Unicorn for turning him into stone and joins the orchestra of animals.

* HiccupHijinks: The episode Hungarian Hiccups. Unusual in that it was ''Rocket'' who had the hiccups.

->''"Let... The mission... Begin!"''

** Big Jet gets his in "Show and Tell", when he apologizes to the team and Rocket for causing so much trouble to them. He is about to leave the classroom, sad because he has nothing to present to Show and Tell until Rocket cheers him up with two sombrero hats for the two of them to wear and play in.

* '''June''': A six-year Chinese-American (or Chinese-British, depending on where you are) girl who was born to dance. June is a trained ballet dancer and easily the most athletic member of the team. She's so athletic in fact that she can use her super ballet leap to [[InASingleBound launch herself over ten feet in the air, landing without harm]]. June is the owner of a telescope, which has lead to a few missions over the years.

* BiggerOnTheInside: Rocket. This is especially evident in the OriginsEpisode, where a pullback of Rocket's interior as the kids first walk inside shows him to nearly reach the size of a schoolbus.

* EveryEpisodeEnding: The aforementioned "Curtain Call" has gone through some changes, but it always consists of the characters celebrating themselves and the audience, and featuring the art & music of the day one more time.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin:
** Many of the episode titles, unsurprisingly. Also Quincy's "silly song" from the episode "The Northern Night Light", which is indeed very silly.

* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Rocket's the one seen most often, obviously, but in short the only characters that speak understandable English are the Little Einsteins themselves. Everyone else either [[SpeakingSimlish communicates with music]] or, in Big Jet's case, engine noises. This is usually translated by one or more of the kids.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The episodes “Knock On Wood” and “The Blue-Footed Booby Bird Ballet” are dedicated to the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker and the Blue-Footed Booby, respectively.

* AllAnimalsAreDomesticated: Though there are exceptions, the team frequently encounters wild animals that turn out to be friendly. This includes a [[BearsAreBadNews polar bear]] in the episode "Flight of the Instrument Fairies", and a '''Tyrannosaurus Rex''' ([[BodyHorror crossed with a double bass]]) in a different episode.

** Leo's pet Melody looks remarkably similar to a [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]].
** Leo again. [[ParentalBonus His arm movements]] [[MemeticMutation when]] [[StockParody he dances are]] [[Film/SaturdayNightFever very familiar]].

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: The Blast Off sequence is shortened throughout most of the second season, where some of Leo's lines are rerecorded, and they removed the scenes of him saying "June is patting...Quincy's patting...Annie's patting...but we need more power!" and Rocket's jets firing up, skipping right to the part where they start to blast off.

* OnceAnEpisode: The introduction and re-introduction of the Music/Art of the Day, the latter in the form of the curtain call mentioned above. There's also the blast off sequence with Rocket (most oddly used at the end of the episode "Quincy and the Magic Instruments", which Rocket had been absent/stuck for the most of and ''still'' included a blast off), some sort of [[TheStinger stinger]] after the curtain falls and before the credits, and in the second season we have powering Rocket up into Super Fast. Annie's singing (see WithLyrics below) is ''almost'' OnceAnEpisode, but there have been a rare few where this is missing for one reason or another.

* TokenHuman: The four kids are, in fact, the only humans present - their parents are never seen, nor any other humans.

* AdultFear: Despite being an animated series for children, there are some scenes or episodes where the main cast or other characters got caught into serious trouble.
