Little Einsteins Wannabe

Like his cousin Demita, my Alden routinely goes gaga over the Little Einsteins show on Disney Channel. Having no choice but to sit with him and watch the 30-minute cartoon thrice a day, I have now memorized the characters and the song in my long term memory (pathetic, I know). Sometimes, I find myself subconsciously singing the theme song in the shower and a few minutes later, I'd hear hubby chanting the addictive melody over and over again. What makes this cartoon so appealing to little tots like Alden and grown ups like us?

From what I've read in Wikipedia, the show is designed to teach demographic art and music appreciation by integrating famous, significant art works and classical music. All the four characters; Leo, June, Quincy and Annie have special musical talents and they encourage viewer interaction such as patting their legs, gesturing, or singing along to help them succeed on their "mission". Interactive + musical + adorable characters = good cartoon. That sums it all. Though he's still in love with Barney and Friends, Alden is now moving on to a new era; The Little Einsteins era. I leave you with the Little Einsteins song lyric. Sing along will ya? :-)
