Rocket's Firebird Rescue [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

My four-year-old daughter loves the Firebird sequence at the end of Fantasia 2000 [DVD] and listens to the Firebird score endlessly. I searched Amazon for a DVD version of the ballet and found this Little Einsteins DVD which seemed a good bargain. What a great idea! It's a little more age-appropriate than the ballet, and she is absolutely delighted with it, and her sister (15 months) claps her hands when she hears the music. There's little point reviewing the non-plot (Rocket rescues the Firebird from the evil ogre and everyone lives happily ever after, even the ogre), but the DVD offers plenty of scope for talking with her about the way the same music can be used to tell two different stories (Fantasia's fairy tale with the firebird as antagonist or the Little Einstein's firebird rescue story with the firebird as a generally meek character), and looking at pictures of Fabergé eggs, Matryoshka dolls and Russian architecture. Highly recommended.

My two and a half year old son LOVES this movie. We're fans of the Little Einsteins anyway, but he's started asking for the Russia movie specifically. The other episode on the DVD is Rocket Soup -- also fab. My son is a picky eater, but now eats soup because Rocket likes soup. Bonus!

My two girls love it and will sit and watch it. On the plus side it's educational so I don't mind them asking to watch it.

These Little Einstein stories are simply amazing. My daughter simply loves them. I love Stravinsky and particularly love this piece. Please, keep them coming!!

Once again the Einsteins capture and maintain the imagination of children and adults whilst combining entertainment and education in their own inimitable style.

My grandson loved it and I enjoyed watching and learning with him. He has a lot of them and loves them all.

perfect gift for my niece, excellent quality and she absolutely loves it. I would recommend this. Thank you very much.

We bought this for our three year old Godson's birthday. He loves the Little Einsteins DVDs so this was very well received.
