1	* AdoredByTheNetwork: The show is one of Disney Junior's flagship shows ever since it premiered. It's justified as [[https://web.archive.org/web/20060629062326/http://commercialfreechildhood.org/news/billiondollarbabies.htm the show was Playhouse Disney's first animated hit]]. Reruns also continued for nearly a decade after the series ended its run.
2	* AmateurCast: The four voice actors for the Little Einsteins were simply local New York-based talent and haven't done much since. Harrison Chad, the singer for Leo, is the only one with multiple notable acting credits, most notably [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Boots the Monkey]].
3	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: The four main characters are voiced by then-child actors.
4	* DawsonCasting: Natalia Wojcik was 8 when she started voicing 4-year-old Annie.
5	* HeAlsoDid: The Creator/CuriousPictures that worked on ''Little Einsteins'' is the same Curious Pictures of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' fame.
6	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The ''Rocket's Firebird Rescue'' special is currently not available on Creator/DisneyPlus, so the only legal way to watch it is on the ''Rocket's Firebird Rescue'' DVD.

8	* NonSingingVoice: Leo's singing was done by Harrison Chad.
9	* TheOtherDarrin: In the show's UK dub, Leo and Annie were originally voiced by Piers Stubbs and Elle [=McHugh=] for the first season, but when the second season began, they were replaced by Daniel Culleton and Kirsty Hickey, respectively.
10	* TieInCereal: General Mills made a ''Little Einsteins'' cereal, with the cereal pieces shaped like stars and fruit flavored.
11	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
12	** [[https://trademarks.justia.com/owners/baby-einstein-company-llc-the-1121936/ According to various trademarks]], the show was originally going to focus on the existing Baby Einstein characters.
13	** [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/c/c9/Einsteins.jpg The earliest designs]] were much more simplified then what we got, and instead of June and Quincy, there was going to be two characters named Isadora and Wolfgang (after Creator/IsadoraDuncan and Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart).
14	** The show had two pilots that were pitched to The Baby Einstein Company. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_h1M7jKC04 first pilot]] (then titled ''Little Einstein'') ended up becoming a promo that was included in multiple Playhouse Disney and Baby Einstein [=DVDs=] and VHS tapes in 2003, the pilot shows the characters in a much earlier design than in the final show, with Leo and Anne looking close to the same, but Quincy and June have completely different designs and Rocket has a more simplified design.
