Baby Einstein (The Baby Einstein Company) is a series of videos designed for infants, founded by Julie Aigner-Clark.[1] After successful sales in the first five years, Clark sold the company to The Walt Disney Company (Disney), also known as Buena Vista[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]
