List of Baby Einstein videos
Baby Einstein is a series of videos designed for infants. Founded by Julie Aigner-Clark in 1996 in her Atlanta home, Clark couldn't find a video to share with her first-born child.[1] After successful sales in the first five years, Clark sold the company to The Walt Disney Company[2] in 2001. After eleven years of producing videos, Disney sold the company to Kids II, Inc. in 2013. The franchise has since been rebranded under Kids II, which primarily focuses on toys and other infant products.[3]
Pre-Disney videos
All pre-Disney videos were directed by Julie Aigner-Clark.[4] Following the purchase of the company by Disney, each of the videos were revised and re-released in 2004.[5]
