Baby Einstein (The Baby Einstein Company) is a series of videos designed for infants, founded by Julie Aigner-Clark. After successful sales in the first five years, Clark sold the company to The Walt Disney Company (Disney), also known as Buena Vista 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.
Baby Einstein videos
The first 10 videos, released from 1997-2002, were directed by Julie Aigner-Clark. Following the purchase of the company by Disney and when they originally made the videos after those, they were re-released sometime in 2003-2008, with some alterations.
