The STRONG Museum of Play

**Strong National Museum of Play**, is part of The Strong in Rochester, New York, United States. Established in 1969 and based initially on the personal collection of Rochester, NY native Margaret Woodbury Strong, the museum opened to the public in 1982, after several years of planning, cataloguing and exhibition development for the Museum's new building in downtown Rochester. For at least fifteen years after its opened, the mission of the Museum was to interpret the social and cultural history of average Americans between 1830 and 1940, under the direction of H.J. Swinney and William T. Alderson. Mrs. Strong's collections of dolls and toys, American and European decorative arts, prints, paintings, Japanese crafts, and advertsing ephemera provided a firm foundation for this mission, and were supplemented with collections purchased and donated to more fully support the Museum's early mission. The Museum received considerable local and national publicity and support and substantial financial support from the National Endowment for the Humanities' Exhibitions and Public Programs division.[1]

In the 1990s the Museum's Board of Trustees and Director changed the Museum's mission to collecting, preserving and interpreting the history of play. Since then it has refined and increased its collections (hundreds of thousands of items), and expanded twice, in 1997 and 2006.

The Museum is now one of five Play Partners of The Strong, which is also home to the National Toy Hall of Fame, the International Center for the History of Electronic Games, and the Brian Sutton-Smith Library and Archives of Play, and produces the *American Journal of Play*.

A few of VTech's toys were featured in Baby Einsteins Videos Like *Baby Wordsworth* and *On The Go.*

VTech also helped make offical Baby Einstein and Little Einsteins products

## V-Smile Gaming system

The **V.Smile** is an educational game system by VTech. It is designed for children ages 3 to 6, but offers software designed for several age groups between 3-9. Titles are available on ROM cartridges called "Smartridges", to play off the system's educational nature. The graphics are primarily sprite-based.

The majority of educational game Smartridges offered for the V.Smile involve licensed characters popular with children in the target age group of 3 to 7 such as *Scooby-Doo, Bob the Builder, The Little Mermaid, Go Diego Go!, Spongebob Squarepants, Elmo's World, Playhouse Disney Characters like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins and NASCAR.* CGI-animated characters from movies also found their way to the V.Smile, including *Kung-Fu Panda, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, Monsters VS Aliens, Shrek and Cars.* Vtech also offers less commercial or traditional characters in games such as Soccer, Little Red Riding Hood, and Whiz Kid Wheels.

## V.Smile Baby Infant Development System

An unrelated and separate spin-off system called the **V.Smile Baby Infant Development System**, was released shortly after the original V.Smile was introduced to the market. The games and cartridges of a V.Smile Baby are not compatible with a V.Smile and vice versa. This is an important distinction since so many of the other consoles named "V.Smile" are inter-compatible. The control system for the Infant Development System is significantly different from those used in the V.Smile that is targeted at older children: it does not have the features of a typical game controller, instead the design is more like that of a playboard. The controls consist of a mode slider, two switches (one for power and the other toggles the board between standalone play mode and console control mode), 7 buttons (5 shape buttons, a "fun" button, a small Exit button), and a roller ball hooked up to a [[1]]. The controller itself has a speaker which comes into play during standalone mode (in which it functions as a playboard that play music, speech and sound when interacted with). The controller communicates with the console by means of [[2]] signaling, and runs off six AA batteries.

Here is a list of games released for V-Smile Baby

**Biology**

* Anatomy

The aquan body is different than the way the human body is while some of the body parts are similar. Aquans don't have nostrils to breathe air or to smell things. They have belly buttons (navels) where the umbilical cord was attached in the wombs of their mothers. They have lungs, like humans do, and gills so they can breathe; the aquans can breathe underwater. The mouth, part of the digestive system, is like the human mouth inside and out and the aquan has two stomaches.  Their heads are like a turtle's head.

Baby Beethoven - Symphony of Fun

original logo (Remade by Racelympics)

***Baby Beethoven - Symphony of Fun***

***Baby Beethoven.*** Featuring timeless works by one of the world's greatest composers, this exciting musical journey exposes infants to classical music while presenting them with vibrant, baby-friendly images and Beethoven's music re orchestrated for little ears

Classical music has been scientifically proven to encourage cognitive development in young children. ***Baby Beethoven***, presents excerpts from five of the composer's most famous symphonies, as well as incidental music, in a child-friendly, sensory-rich format. Familiar Beethoven themes like the Ode to Joy from his Ninth Symphony are playfully rendered on electric piano and accompanied by colorful images of toys in action, puppets built by Dave Privett , and babies, toddlers and kids playing with musical instruments and toys. The musical excerpts are relatively short and the imagery is quick-paced and varied enough to grab the limited attention span of viewers age 1 to 36 months. Unlike previous ***Baby Mozart and Baby Bach***, each symphonic excerpt (though not the incidental music) is labeled--a feature that encourages further exploration of favorite pieces. ***Baby Beethoven*** is an aural and visual feast that promotes creativity, mental awareness, and an appreciation for classical music in infants, toddlers, and their parents
Disney's Einstein Pals

Disney's *Einstein Pals* was a short series teased by Disney and The Baby Einstein Company in 2007, but was abandoned on 2008/2009 for unknown reasons. Only some trailers have been found and archived on the Wayback Machine website, along with a few trailers seen in *Baby Einstein* and *Little Einsteins* DVDs. The reason for termination is unknown. The possible reason for termination is the *Baby Einstein* DVD refund scandal in 2009. Kids 2 Inc. (the new owner of The Baby Einstein Company) said in their Frequently Asked Questions that they have no plans to release the Einstein Pals series. It is unknown if any episodes were ever finished, however, the many trailers for the show, along with the series' page on IMDB and the various portfolios showing that people were working on the show means that the show was at least scripted and filmed.

Disney's Einstein Pals trailers can be seen on YouTube or on Baby Einstein and Little Einsteins DVD Releases from 2007-2008. along with a few promotional inserts in Baby Einstein and Disney preschool DVDs

Dill Bodinksi

**Dill Bodinski** is Peter Normal's next door neighbor and best friend.

## Background

Dill is the youngest of five kids in his family, who are not nice people. His father is an acolholic, his mother is neglectful, and his older brothers and sisters either bully or ignore him.

## Appearance

When they first met, Dill was half a foot shorter than Peter and maybe twenty pounds lighter, and he has blonde hair in a crewcut, and is a few months older than Peter.

## Personality

Dill is something of a troublemaker, sometimes a bit of a smartmouth, and often blurts things out without even thinking, no matter how rude, insensitive, or stupid. He likes to tease but he's not a bully, he has a wild imagination, and tends to get phrases or words wrong, whether their meaning or pronunciation.

He tends to push boundaries and do things he knows he shouldn't be doing, but whenever he's faced with a truly terrifying experience he often wets himself (always claiming it was just a little squirt) and then afterwards doesn't want to talk about the harrowing ordeal.

Pond5

**Pond5** is a New York-based online marketplace for royalty-free media. The company licenses stock footage, stock music, stock photography sound effects, after effects, images and 3-D models. Pond5 is reported to have the world's largest collection of stock footage, hosting more than 10.5 million clips as of early 2018.

The company originally focused on selling video clips, but began to expand into other asset types following its 2013 acquisition of Pixmac, a stock photography site based in the Czech Republic. The acquisition added Pixmac’s 6,000+ photographers and support for 17 languages to the Pond5 marketplace

There Stock Footage was used in the Baby Einstein Spinoff: WeeSchool Since 2016

## History

Pond5 was founded in 2006 as a way for video producers to license content to third parties. It subsequently expanded into other media types, including photos, music, sound effects, 3D models, and Adobe After Effects templates. Pond5 does not own the content on its site, but instead aggregates and sells content created and owned by its contributors. These contributors determine the selling price, and earn 50% of revenue.

In July 2014, venture capital firms Accel Partners and Stripes Group invested $61 million in series A financing into Pond5.

## Products and Partnerships

In January 2014, Pond5 partnered with Adobe to create a plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro integrating the Pond5 video collection with the editing suite.

In early 2015, the company launched the Public Domain Project, a free online repository of nearly 100,000 digitalized media assets.

The original business model focused on licensing individual video clip sales. However, in February 2016, the company unveiled a subscription product.

In late December 2016, the company roled out Extended licenses aimed at attracting large enterprise customers.

In June 2019, the company launched partnerships with Reuters, Cover Video, and Newsflare to create the largest Editorial video collection.
