Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

I found Baby Neptune to be one of the better Einstein videos. No annoying scenes of Julies children trying to be cutesy (something that was a problem in Baby Bach), and plenty of action that keeps baby intrigued. I didnt find the frequent change of scenery bothersome, more importantly my baby didnt seem to have a problem with it. The music is enjoyable as usual, the puppets were fun to watch, they even brought back the silly duck with the red scarf that was featured in Baby Beethoven. Its great to see your baby recognize the characters from previous releases. There were children interlaced throughout, but nothing like Baby Santa or Baby Bach. You can tell Disney is trying to fine-tune the videos / DVD, and they did a good job with this one. This has a great balance of beautiful scenery, fun and silly toys, and nice music. I give this a thumbs up.

My baby Edwin is 9 month old and he just love this dvd. As soon as he hears the music, he stop moving around and watches it. He starts to make sound when the screen changes to black and the duck suddenly appears. He will watch it over and over until he doesnt hear the music.

get this on DVD it has so many interactive features and it has repeat play for continuous play they can fall asleep to, and there is none of that screaming when the video stops instead you can shut it off when they are not interested. And the learning flash cards in nine languages is a must have. GET THE DVD

Our 3 month old son LOVES the whole series and this new DVD did not disappoint. He sat through the whole 30 minutes smiling and kicking along to the music. He was especially interested in the turtle! Anything that keeps my little guy amused for that long gets a 5 in my book!

My daughter has enjoyed this since she was a couple of months old, and I feel comfortable letting her watch it. It will hold her attention the entire time, and she enjoys talking quietly to herself while hearing the variety of languages. (Shes 7 months) I wish the languages were directly related to the content of the pictures. I will still buy others from the series! My child doesnt see much other TV, so perhaps a child who watches a lot of TV would find this video less interesting than she does.

the great thing about the einstein series of videos is that simple ideas like water can create a world of experience and wonder, when presented in a way that this video footage does. toddlers will enjoy this. my son is 4 yet he will still sometimes pick this to watch. beach scenes, kids playing with water, puppets, etc this is a fun way to watch one of our most basic resources, and helps kids learn the importance of it. all the videos in the einstein collection are fabulous

Baby Neptune is good, but my son doesnt absolutely love it like he does some other Einstein DVDs. I think the music is not as good as in the others. But we still watch it so we dont get too sick of the other ones, and its not bad. Baby Galileo is much better in my opinion.

This video is wonderful! I was sure that Jesica, being only 4 months old, would have no interest in this video as she doesnt with most everything else on television. But this video is very exciting to her. She will talk to the objects she sees. I am very proud to have this for her and look forward to getting Baby Bach and Baby Mozart to switch them out for variety.

My 8 month old son has been watching this video since he was 4 months old and he absolutely loves it. His feet kick with delight at the puppet scenes and he laughs at the images. We enjoyed this video so much that we bought it in DVD and in VHS so that he could watch it at home and at both grandparents homes. The added extras on the DVD are great too, especially the aquarium footage. Great job, as usual, Baby Einstein Company!

This would have been a two-star video, if I hadnt discovered the Aquarium segment in the bonus features. The main video manages to be both jarring and uninteresting to babies (and adults). There are some gorgeous scenes of sea life and flowing water and of course the toys. The scenes flash too quickly to engage even an infant, though, and the entire production is reduced to brain candy. Not nearly as well done as the pre-Disney videos produced by Julie Aigner-Clark. But if you skip directly to the Bonus Features, there is a segment called Aquarium, which consists of longer, more fluid clips that for some reason ended up on the cutting room floor. These clips are anchored by two lengthy scenes of a diver feeding aquarium fish, which captivated our 11-month-old and our 6-year-old alike. The longer, less teachy scenes are more evocative of the magic of earlier Baby Einstein videos. In my opinion, the music selections are better as well. So, feel free to rent or buy this video for your little one, even if an over-produced puppet-and-kid show isnt your cup of tea. Dont be dismayed when the main feature leaves you cold, though. Aquarium is well worth the price you pay for the entire DVD.
