Recap / Little Einsteins S 1 E 1 Ring Around The Planet

Airdate: October 9, 2005

Art: Tree of Life by Gustav Klimt

Music: "Symphony No. 9" by Antonín Dvořák

June is looking at the stars through her telescope when suddenly, one of Saturn's rings comes loose and falls to earth! Ring is homesick and the Little Einsteins have a mission to travel through space and return him to Saturn.

Tropes:

• Artistic License – Space: Saturn loses one of its rings which falls to earth. The real-life rings of Saturn are not ring-shaped like the one June finds; they are a mass of floating space rocks made of ice. Saturn's rings are also much larger than earth in real life.
• Help, I'm Stuck!: Rocket gets stuck in some space goo and can't move. A group of aliens called Meeps appear and help to pull him out.
• Spectacular Spinning: When Rocket's Drum Thumper gets tangled, June uses her super spin to untangle the sticks in time.
