SYNOPSIS: 

Rev up Rocket and soar full speed ahead into action-packed, music-powered adventures! Join Leo, June, Quincy, Annie and Rocket on a mission to rescue the Three Little Piggies when their airplanes spin out of control. Can Rocket fly fast enough and far enough to bring the Piggies all the way home? Only with your help! Journey with the LITTLE EINSTEINS? as they zoom to outer space on their most thrilling voyage ever! Then, get ready to race around the globe against the world's greatest flying machines. But look out! Big Jet is up to his old tricks. And he'll do anything to win the trophy. Whether your preschooler is exploring the ancient city of Machu Picchu, whooshing past stars or planets, or searching for hidden treasure in Hawaii, RACE FOR SPACE is a first-class ticket to nonstop entertainment you can enjoy together!

MOVIE REVIEW:

Do you know much about the Hawaiian Ki'i statues? What about “Funeral March of the Marionette” by Goundo, the art of Chinese cut paper, Hiroshige Utagawa’s artpiece Whirlpool and Waves and “William Tell Overture” by Gioachino Rossini? What if your preschool kid comes up to you and impresses you with knowledge about all this? You’d be thankful for getting this DVD for him or her.

There are three 24-minute episodes in this DVD. In “The Treasure Behind The Little Red Door”, Rocket (the one which the kids travel in every episode) discovers a treasure map that leads to riches in Hawaii, but Big Jet (not very creative, but that’s the villain for you) steals the map before the treasure is found. In “Super Fast!”, the kids discuss about a speeding device on Rocket until three little pigs (can the creators get more kiddy than that?) on airplanes go out of control in the skies. In “The Great Sky Race rematch”, Big Jet smashes up Rocket's flying button and plans its revenge on losing the last Great Sky Race. By preventing Rocket from flying, the villain prepares to win this race no matter what.

Before you think the animation in this preschool series looks bland and unattractive, you may want to sit down with the preschoolers for one episode. It is amazing how information and fact are weaved into the episodes, and with such interactivity. Young viewers will be responding to the chants to launch Rocket off. Along the way, viewers learn about art and classical music the interesting way. Come on, who would want to learn about famous artwork and high brow music from traditional academic journals and messy music scores?

Of course, while this works great for the toddlers, adults are not exactly the target viewers of this DVD. The classical tunes are sung to the lines of “We're off on a Treasure hunt, we're off on a treasure hunt, we're not there yet, we have to get the treasure behind the Little Red door.” (Funeral March of the Marionette) and “Hurry up, hurry up, get the pig pig pigs. Hurry up, hurry up, get the pig pig pigs. Hurry up hurry up, get the pig pig pigs. Hurry up! Get the pig pig pigs.” (William Tell Overture).

You get the idea. But still, you may still want to watch some episodes so that your preschool kid appears smarter than you.
