Disney's Little Einsteins - Rocket's Firebird Rescue

Disney's Little Einsteins - Rocket's Firebird Rescue
The Little Einsteins are a talented group of musically-inclined, preschool-age friends who just happen to have a rocket ship named Rocket for a friend and a knack for helping those in need. In this animated adventure, it's up to Leo, Annie, Quincy, and June to preserve music around the world by traveling to Russia to free the magical Firebird from the grip of a music-hating ogre named Katschai. Set to themes from Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird" and featuring the art of Wassily Kandinsky, Faberge eggs, and Matryoshka Nesting Dolls, this full-length Little Einsteins adventure conveys the basic gist of Stravinsky's "Firebird" ballet in which the Firebird casts a spell of energetic dance and sleep upon the creatures of a magical kingdom. Prominent musical themes are emphasized by linking them to specific onscreen characters and their actions and basic musical terms like adagio and allegro are introduced while the Little Einsteins promote friendship, cooperation, and compassion and engage the active participation of young viewers by encouraging them to clap, sing, dance, and pretend to play musical instruments. The bonus episode "Rocket Soup" emphasizes teamwork and introduces orchestral instruments with the help of Dvorak's "Humoresque No. 7" and Paul Klee's painting "Moonrise." Engage the "Magic Mission Mode" and children can view "Rocket's Firebird Rescue" with animated pop-up facts. (Ages 3 to 7) --Tami Horiuchi
Customer Review: quite a low level product
I think that kids are getting quite a wrong idea about such a huge and old culture like Russian one. Nesting doll looks like an evil symbol and soldiers for some reason are very negative characters and many other stuff - let's say - is not presented correct. Honestly, I think kids should not get such a primitive view about such a great country no matter what a political line they have now or used to have.... And I agree with one of the customers who mentioned her kid's fears after watching this "masterpiece". I think it is very low although I agree that some of their other products are very fun and educational for kids.
Customer Review: Not a Favorite
My twins LOVE the Little Einsteins and watch their other videos over and over, but they never ask to watch this one. I think the story is too long, repetitive and boring. They actually enjoy the Rocket Soup episode more than the featured one.
