Disney's Little Einsteins - Mission Celebration
Fine artwork, classical music, and destinations around the world are the order of the day for the Little Einsteins, a group of musically-minded children who travel the world in their trusty rocket ship looking for adventure.  Each of these three CGI animated adventures encourages viewers ages 2 to 7 to get involved by clapping along and promotes the development of careful listening skills and an understanding of basic musical terminology.   In "The Birthday Machine," June, Leo, Quincy, Annie, and Rocket can't wait to construct a birthday machine, but their quest for parts takes them deep within  Michelangelo Buonarroti's painting "The Laurentian Library" and then on a gondola ride through the canals of Venice where they chase and order specific melodic fragments from Johann Sebastian Bach's "Brandenberg Concerto Number 5."  In "Go West Young Train," the group journeys to the American Wild West where they experience the art of Navajo basketry and the music of Georges Bizet while helping Little Red Train recover a bag of party supplies stolen by Big Jet.   Finally, the group journeys around the globe from Seattle, Washington to the tropical rainforest of Henri Rousseau's "The Merry Jesters" and the ice floes of Antarctica in "The Birthday Balloons."  Along the way, they pick out melodic fragments from Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and recapture a handful of runaway balloons.  The DVD bonus feature "You've Got a Mission" gives viewers a chance to pilot Rocket on their own mission to gather party goods.--Tami Horiuchi
