From the studio: Join the Little Einsteins as they embark on four rescue-themed adventures in LITTLE EINSTEINS: FIRE TRUCK ROCKET’S BLAST OFF premiering on Disney DVD September 8, 2009. In this latest installment of fascinating adventures that includes a never-before-seen episode and the Magic Mission viewing mode, the Little Einsteins set out on rescue missions that take place in all corners of the world. In never-before-seen episode Fire Truck Rocket, it’s Rocket’s latest transformation: Fire Truck Rocket. The Einsteins rush to rescue an adorable monkey from an erupting volcano on the tropical island of Java. They will need All of Rocket’s rescue gadgets including his rescue Spreader (jaws of life), rescue Ladder and rescue Hose to cool down the rumbling volcano.

Other episodes include Melody the Music Pet which features the Little Einsteins in France, watching animals board the special train that takes pets to their new homes. One particular cuddly creature stands out – Melody, the Music Pet. However, Melody can’t find her golden ticket for the train. Leo and team promise to help Melody find her missing ticket, and the mission takes them over Monet’s famous painting of lily pads, through the French countryside and to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

In Carmine’s Big Race, the Little Einsteins are in Monaco at a grand prix to cheer for Quincy’s friend Carmine, the music car. The other cars don’t think Carmine has what it takes to win the race, but with the help of the Einsteins, he just might take home the Grand Prix trophy. The team explores the Patagonia region of South America in Mr. Penguin’s Ice Cream Adventure. When an ice cream train being driven by Mr. Penguin to his best friend’s birthday party breaks down, Rocket transforms himself into a train to pull the big load of ice cream. Afterwards, the team must dig past a huge rock, put a musical bridge back together and chug over the Andes Mountains. The Magic Mission Viewing Mode let viewers use their remote to answer fun questions about colors, shapes and sizes.

Bonus Features: Magic Mission Viewing Modes (levels 1 and 2): The Magic Mission Viewing Mode let viewers use their remote to answer fun questions about colors, shapes and sizes with two levels of difficulty.

RB and I had so much fun watching this DVD with CJ. It held CJ’s interest for the whole time and at many points he tried to join in and imitate or answer the characters. Plus, we knew he liked it because he snagged the DVD off of the shelf and took it into his room the next day to watch again. As I expect from Disney animated movies, the movie was full of bold and bright colors. I like the way that some educational material is woven right into the story, and that they include music in such a way that it’s fun and not what some kids would consider a boring musical. The Magic Mission Viewing Mode is a different way to watch. While the story is unfolding you (and/or your child) are asked to answer questions pressing buttons on the remote control. I liked that this mode is a more active way of watching.
If your child enjoys Little Einsteins or if your child is ready to try a new show then pick up Fire Truck Rocket – they’ll have a blast!
